Of that $3.5 billion, Carbon County received $170.6 million, generating $9.0 million for local governments, which accounted for 30% of all taxes generated in the county. These dollars were not only spent on lodging or campgrounds, but dining, groceries, transportation, entertainment, and shopping. In 2017, tourism related services provided job for 1,530 people in Carbon County. The 2% lodging tax is a tax that Carbon County residents do not normally pay - yet all of Carbon County benefits from it. The Carbon County Visitors' Council not only helps attract tourists and travelers into the county which boosts our local economy and tax base, it gives back to the communities. This year CCVC awarded 54 Event Marketing and Sponsorship grants totaling $151,000. The goal of the CCVC grant process is to assist Carbon County organizations with events designed to generate travel and tourism within out county.
