Vonderhaar continued: “While travel has been the basis of a healthy workforce, being one of the largest personal sector employers in the United States, it generated 17 million jobs in 2019; and while travel spending has helped state and local governments, generating $180 billion in tax profits in 2019 to must-have facilities and programs. While companies and organizations that rely on travel and tourism, 83% of which are small businesses such as restaurants and retail stores, are guilty of welcoming visitors from around the world to explore Preble County and all of our communities have to offer.

“And while the Preble County Convention and Visitors Office is guilty of selling the entire county as an ideal position for visitors to make our cities their destination, it has now been resolved that the Preble County Board of Commissioners will proclaim may 2-8, 2021, as National Travel and Tourism Week in Preble County. Array and urges citizens of Preble County to sign up with us to detect the critical role this industry plays in recovering our restaurants and small businesses.
