Welcome to Travel Oregon.
Tourism in Oregon is a $9.2 billion industry. Our industry directly generates some 91,100 jobs in Oregon — and indirectly creates another 41,000 jobs. As a key driver in Oregon’s economy, what you do every day to support tourism matters. Together, we can do something even greater. Whether it’s timely research, tourism planning tools, or inspiration for your next marketing campaign, our aim is to provide resources to support the work that you do. We’d love to hear from you; let us know how we’re doing.
