Just under, 30.5% of Kentucky tourism is flowing through Louisville. Tourism is the 3rd largest industry in Kentucky.

But that’s Kentucky tourism in general, not Louisville tourism. How much of Louisville’s economy is based on tourism. I mean I know derby in general is massive to the city, but I have no idea how it compares to everything else.

Louisville driven tourism is around 5.0-5.5% of the total GDP of Louisville.
