Celebrate Tourism Month in Huntington Beach

UPDATED MAY 4, 2023

In 2016, the California Legislature declared May California Tourism Month, spotlighting tourism's role as a key economic driver for the Golden State. Travel is ingrained in the state's very identity, and its economic and cultural benefits are undeniable. This year, the tourism industry is celebrating by recognizing the great strides it has made toward recovery over the past two years amid devastating business closures and job losses.

In 2021, visitor spending reached $100.2 billion (up 46% from 2020) and generated $9.8 billion in state and local tax revenue. 

Tourism plays a key role in Huntington Beach's economy. One of the many ways we can all ensure Huntington Beach remains the piece of paradise we know and love is to encourage locals and visitors alike to invest in the city and its services. As visitors spend on food and beverage, events and recreation, lodging, retail, and more, funds get pumped back into the local economy.
