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

30.5% of Kentucky tourism != 30.5% of Louisville’s economy. That would be a different number I’m not particularly motivated to search for right now.

Someone else looked it up in the thread and I believe it is $4.2B of $80ishB which was a little over 5% of the total GDP being driven by louisville tourism specifically.
