 | From small business owners and hotel staff to retail clerks and restaurant workers, tourism means local jobs - 17,280 local jobs to be exact. As we celebrated National Tourism Week May 6-12, Visit Omaha began a new campaign focused on highlighting and celebrating Omaha’s 8th largest private sector employer – tourism. “Visitor spending supports 1 in 17 jobs in Omaha, so chances are you know someone who works in the tourism industry,” said Keith Backsen, Executive Director of Visit Omaha. “The new campaign highlights the importance the travel industry has on local families who live and work here.” |
