DIVERSE SPORTS GENERATE $92 MILLION ECONOMIC IMPACT
According to a recent study by Tourism Economics, Oklahoma City experienced a staggering $4.3 billion economic impact from tourism in 2022. The study revealed more than 23 million visitors directly spent $2.6 billion on food, retail, entertainment, lodging, transportation and more. Those figures included expenditures made by visitors attending various sporting events around the city. Sports tourism is big for Oklahoma City. That’s what Adam Wisniewski, Visit Oklahoma City’s vice president of sports, wants everyone to understand, especially as the city continues to grow and hosts even more sporting events well into the future. A gymnast competes on the high bar during the USA Gymnastics Development Program National Championships held last May in Oklahoma City. The event drew about 20,000 out-of-town visitors to OKC.
