At their annual meeting held Friday, Visit Fort Worth touted that the city saw a record number of tourists in 2022 - to the tune of almost 11 million people.
All those tourists are having a huge impact on Cowtown. It's Saturday night at the Reata restaurant in downtown Fort Worth, and groups of friends and families are gathering for dinner.
In their 2023 annual report, Visit Fort Worth says the city had a record 10.8 million tourists in 2022. And all those tourists mean big bucks for the city: $3 billion dollars in economic impact. "If you didn't have tourism, at a minimum our sales would probably be 30 or 40% less. It's essential for our business," said Micallef.
