## Resource

Essex County’s tourism boom is paying off big time—$988 million in visitor spending last year makes it the top county in the Adirondacks, fueling local businesses, creating jobs, and boosting tax revenue. Outdoor adventures draw 65% of visitors, while restaurant spending jumped 28%, and overall trip spending rose 8%. With 37 cents of every dollar coming from outside the county, these travelers are vital to the region’s economy, keeping spots like Lake Placid Pub and Brewery busy and locals thriving.
