Birding has brought in about $300 million in economic impact according to a study by the Tucson Audubon Society . Additionally, the study found that the industry supports about 3,000 jobs in the state.Events like the Southwest Birding Festival play a significant role in this, attracting thousands of visitors who contribute to local businesses and tourism.
”Among them is 17 year-old Christopher Smith from Fresno, California, who came to the festival to give tours. He was recruited by Massachusetts-based Hunt’s Photo & Video to represent the younger generation of birders, a scene typically dominated by older adults.Christopher got hooked on birding at a young age. He’s been sharing his photos on Instagram, where an enthusiastic group exists among young people interested in the hobby.
