Supported by vast research and data, this 2009 white paper outlines why, with the recent downturn of the national economy, the State of New Jersey needs to take greater advantage of the vast opportunity for economic growth and downtown revitalization and preservation, which can be realized by expanding travel and tourism as an important and integral business for the state. The travel and tourism industry has a well documented return on investment.

• Each visitor to the state creates $505 in expenditures, $96 of which goes to businesses not directly related to tourism.
• Each visitor creates $97 in tax receipts, $56 of which goes to local and state authorities.
• Every 229 visitors pay for 1 New Jersey public school student for the year
• Every 161 visitors creates one new New Jersey Job.
• $2.2 billion in state tax revenues was generated by the travel & tourism industry in 2007.
