Iowa Tourism Fast Facts

Tourism in Iowa is about more than places to visit; it’s jobs, economic growth, quality of life, and revenue generation. It’s about investing in Iowa’s future. Iowa’s tourism and travel industry asks for your support and investment. In turn we offer revenue for the state that can be invested in roads, schools and community development.
