Each year, the City of San Antonio, along with cities across the nation, celebrates the power of the travel and tourism industry. It is also a chance to learn more about how the travel and tourism industry contributes to San Antonio’s economy, business development, employment and overall quality of life. San Antonio hosts some 34.4 million visitors a year, which in turn creates an annual influx of $13.6 billion into the local economy. It is called the San Antonio Travel Effect, and it is responsible for creating jobs, stimulating business development, funding city projects and enriching the culture and vibrancy of San Antonio.
