Why tourism?
- In 2024, Cheyenne and Laramie County welcome an estimated 2.65 million overnight visitors.
- Visitors spent $463.9 million in the Cheyenne area (Laramie County) in 2024, providing 3,640 local jobs which paid $115 million in wages.
- Visitors paid $27.3 million in state and local taxes in 2024.
- Laramie County has the 3rd highest level of traveler spending among Wyoming counties, behind Teton & Park Counties.
- If the travel industry were a single business, it would rank as the county's third largest employer behind F.E. Warren Air Force Base and the State of Wyoming.
- Without the tax contribution of tourists, each Laramie County household would pay an additional $878 in taxes to maintain existing government services.
