Things are improving in Idaho’s travel and tourism industry.
Diane Norton (pictured), tourism manager of the Idaho
Division of Tourism, gave a State of the State Tourism Industry presentation during the eighth annual North Idaho Tourism Summit at the Best Western Plus Coeur d’Alene Inn Thursday. She reported that numbers show an upward trend in visitors to Idaho, reflected by the taxes on the sales of hotels, motels and private campground accommodations.
“Tax collections. Wow,” she said. “For the first year, last year, we broke over $8 million. This year we’re on record to probably get close to $9 million. “The economy is coming back. It’s getting stronger and people are traveling”/
