Description

Johnson County is one of the most dynamic economies in the Midwest, and tourism is playing a major role in that growth. 

From world-class sporting events to a thriving hospitality sector, our region is becoming an increasingly important destination for visitors, businesses, and major events. Now is the time to take stock of where we stand and where we’re headed. 

Join us for the inaugural Johnson County State of Tourism, a data-forward and candid look at the visitor economy shaping our region’s future.
