At its annual meeting on March 24, meetNKY – the region’s sales, marketing and service organization – reported a victorious year on many fronts for the Northern Kentucky Convention and Visitors Bureau.
“There is no doubt in our minds that 2015 was All-Star in many ways,” said meetNKY President and CEO Eric Summe, referring to last summer’s hosting of the MLB All-Star Game in Cincinnati.
As NKY Thrives reported, several other events bolstered the region's best year ever. Last summer's
NASCAR series at Kentucky Speedway further underscored a tourism boom that researchers say will continue gaining momentum for years to come.
According to the report, travel and tourism contributed nearly $366 million to Northern Kentucky’s economy, or an average of about $1 million per day, during 2015. That number represents a $26 million increase over 2014 in Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties.
