The Power of Tourism

Tourism plays a critical role in supporting our residents and is the reason so many unique experiences, attractions, and things like restaurants, parks, and entertainment venues are available in Door County for all to enjoy.

Tax dollars generated from visitors financially support municipal governments throughout the county and have helped pay for many park upgrades and public green space expansions. They also provide funding for the Community Investment Fund, which provides grant opportunities for non-profit groups and local governments to help fund a wide variety of projects that benefit both residents and visitors.

Join Destination Door County in recognizing the importance of travel in our community during national travel and tourism week this year, and every year.
