DID YOU KNOW THAT:
Tourism is Lee County's
leading industry
Tourism employs more than 28,000+ Lee County residents with a wage
impact of nearly a half billion dollars
Tourism means more than $114 million collected each year
in additional tax revenues for Lee County
In addition to being our area’s strongest
economic engine, tourism provides a multitude of career opportunities at a variety of
skill and education levels. The Tourism Careers Awareness Program (TCAP) is designed to be
an investment in tomorrow’s workforce. The Lee County tourism industry wants our
future leaders to consider careers in Lee County’s leading industry. As the
centerpiece of TCAP, the annual "Educate the Educators" event brings local
tourism industry leaders together with more than 100 Lee County middle and high school
teachers for a day-long workshop on the value of and career opportunities in tourism. The
seminars and activities feature valuable information regarding our tourism industry, its
career opportunities, and how teachers can bridge the gap between today’s leading
industry and tomorrow’s industry leaders.
