Be a Voice for Texas Travel The Texas Travel Alliance represents the entire ecosystem of travel and tourism across Texas. From travel destinations, accommodations, restaurants, and attractions, to the transportation and support businesses that connect them, TTA is the place where the whole industry converges. In 2023, the travel industry had a $193 billion impact on the Texas economy. That's a huge number, second only to energy and manufacturing. And travel and tourism are a driving factor in the Texas workforce, with more than 1.3 million jobs across the continuum from entry to executive level. Additionally, travelers to and within Texas spent $94.8 billion in 2023, generating $9 billion in state and local taxes. A growing travel and tourism industry means more tax dollars to support important public services like education and other community initiatives that benefit local residents. Therefore, it is imperative that we share with policymakers about the collective economic impact of travel and tourism and ensure a seat at the table when important policy decisions that impact our industry are made.
