The tourism industry in Oregon has more than half of its jobs in accommodation and food services. The tourism industry in Oregon is not all located in a certain region. Tourism is more common in some counties than others. For example, there is only about five-percent of the leisure and hospitality workforce in Morrow County and approximately 33-percent in Sherman County.
The coastal counties are the counties with more 20-percent of total private employment. These counties are Clatsop, Lincoln, Tillamook, Coos, and Curry counties.
According to Dean Runyan Associates, an Oregon-based firm that specializes in tourism and travel, employment in leisure and hospitality will increase about 20-percent by the year 2020.
Oregon's tourism and travel industry is approximately a $2 billion industry.

Hi Jasmin,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blogspot on Oregon. The video from the TravelPortland.com gave me a totally new perspective on the city as well as the state of Oregon. I always thought of it as a cold place with "tree-people." The geography of the state is spectacular and picturesque. You did a good job!
