Chippewa County Visitor Spending Up 2.21%
The Wisconsin Department of Tourism released the latest Tourism Economic
Impact study in early May in conjunction with National Tourism Week, May 210. This study conducted by a national research firm, Longwoods
International and Tourism Economics, shows the impact of tourism on the
state's economy was $18.5 billion in 2014, up 5.5% from the previous year.
Statewide, traveler spending generated $1.4 billion in state and local revenue
and $1 billion in federal taxes. Of the statewide traveler spending, Chippewa
County saw $127 million, an increase from $124.38 in visitor spending in
2013.
"With the continued partnerships of the city of Chippewa Falls, the Chippewa
County Tourism Council, and the Chippewa Falls Chamber, we are able to
continue to market and promote this area as a regional destination in the key
markets of Minneapolis, Chicago and eastern Iowa, " stated Shelby McNeese,
Tourism Director for the Chippewa Falls Area Chamber of Commerce.
Welcome Tourism Assistants
The Chippewa Area Visitor Center is now open weekends and with the warmer
weather has seen an increase in visitor walk in traffic. To aid in the greeting of
the many visitors the Chippewa Falls Chamber has added to its staff two
Tourism Assistants, Ally McCullough and Jessy Zwiefelhofer. Ally & Jessy will
assist in greeting visitors, fulfilling visitor requests and various tourism
projects. Ally graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho this Spring
with a Business Management degree. Jessy attends UW-Eau Claire and is pursuing a BS degree in Marketing. They both worked in the visitor center last
summer and have enjoyed their first weeks on the job again this year. They
look forward to assisting visitors throughout the summer season!
State Bike Trail Passes Sold at Visitor Center
State trail passes are required for all individuals over 16 who are biking,
horseback riding, cross-country skiing or in-line skating. Annual and daily
Wisconsin State Bike Trail passes are sold at the Chippewa Area Visitor Center.
2015 pricing: $20 for annual passes or $4
