“Tourism is the gateway to economic development” 📍 Today’s insights from the Build Bentonville Luncheon focused on the “State of Tourism” for Bentonville; specifically how much our city is continuing to grow and evolve, and how tourism is a powerful economic driver for our city. Our President/CEO, Kalene Griffith, presented recent data showing the positive impact of tourism achieved in 2023 and the outlook for 2024 and 2025 when new attractions come, like the Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, Heartland Whole Health Institute, Gateway Park, and more. Additionally, Kalene was joined by Shea Lewis and Jack Johnson, who provided great insights on tourism from the state and global levels. Bentonville is positioning itself as a premier destination for leisure, business, and, soon, medical travelers. The future of tourism in our city looks brighter than ever! 👉 What are your thoughts on the role of tourism in economic development? How do you see these upcoming attractions shaping Bentonville's future?
