Tourism
• “Utah makes money when tourists stay in hotels, eat in restaurants, and buy things in our stores. Whenever they spend money here, they also pay taxes. Tourism in 1994, for instance, was a $3 billion business. It made more money for Utah than agriculture and mining combined.” -Utah History Textbook
