Why tourism?
In 2020, Cheyenne and Laramie County welcome an estimated 1.97 million overnight visitors.
Visitors spent $284.6 million in the Cheyenne area (Laramie County) in 2020, providing 2800 local jobs.
Visitors paid $16.8 million in state and local taxes in 2020.
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 $678 in taxes to maintain existing government services.
