After six years away from the Beehive State, the outdoor industry trade show is back in Salt Lake City for the second time this year.
SALT LAKE CITY -- Hundreds of exhibitors are back in Salt Lake City today as part of the summer event for Outdoor Retailer.
"We've been coming to Outdoor Retailer for at least 25 years, from the late '90s on every single year," Christoph said. "A retailer who owns a large outdoor store or a small mom-and-pop retail store will come here to see what's new and buy products to put in their stores to then sell to the outdoor enthusiast," said Smith.
The report shows the outdoor recreation participating base grew 2.3% in 2022, to a record of 168.1 million participants. That equates to 55% of the U.S. population over the age of six years old.
