The Kosciusko County Convention & Visitors Bureau (KCCVB) is celebrating National Travel & Tourism Week (NTTW) May 4-10.
Established in 1983, NTTW is an annual tradition to celebrate the U.S. travel community and travel’s essential role in stimulating economic growth, cultivating vibrant communities, creating quality job opportunities, inspiring new businesses and elevating the quality of life for Americans every day, according to a news release from KCCVB.
According to research from Placer.ai, Kosciusko County welcomed 1.2 million visitors in 2024. A Tourism Economic Impact Report conducted through Rockport Analytics through a partnership with Indiana Development Corporation (IDDC) estimates Kosciusko County visitors spent $186.3 million and generated 2,145 jobs in Kosciusko County; $19.6 million state and local tax revenue was generated by tourism in Kosciusko County. With all the KCCVB’s marketing efforts combined, they reached 1,264,419 potential visitors last year.
Some ways residents and visitors alike can celebrate NTTW in Kosciusko County include viewing the Kosciusko County Visitor Guide online or picking up a print copy. The digital guide can be found on the KCCVB website at https://visitkosciuskocounty.org/digital-guides/.
KCCVB also has created seven free digital passports called the Engage Kosciusko Passports, which are available on their website at https://visitkosciuskocounty.org/engage-kosciusko-experience-passes/.
These passports offer entry into drawings for Kosciusko Cash and other prizes.
KCCVB also has a series of Outdoor Spaces brochures and maps with lists of all the beautiful outdoor recreation opportunities available in Kosciusko County, including Trail Spaces, Nature Spaces, Blue Spaces, Play Spaces and Art Spaces.
