Tourism
Tourism is North Dakota's second-largest industry, with an estimated $3.6 billion spent in 2005. It is a vital part of our economy, not only because of this significant economic impact but because tourism delivers intangible benefits. Tourism is a lead generator and image builder for the state. By attracting visitors into North Dakota, tourism exposes new people to our state and helps showcase all of North Dakota's great qualities - our legendary people, attractions, business climate and quality of life.
The Leisure and Hospitality industry in North Dakota has grown since 1999. Projected 2006 employment shows a 1.3% gain to 31,589 jobs with a total payroll exceeding $321,251,789.
