SHEPHERDSVILLE— It can be difficult to picture how tourism affects a county.
It isn’t as difficult to picture $519, as in the same $519 Bullitt County residents saved in local and state taxes in 2015 thanks to tourism.
According to a recent study Certec, Inc. of Versailles, for the year 2015, Bullitt County generated just over $89 million in direct tourist spending and $140 million in total tourist spending.
Tourism supported 1,901 jobs and produced $31 million in worker income, according to the survey.
