After SPIN! Video: What impact did HB2 have on NC tourism?
Published August 30, 2017
After SPIN! "Question to Bob and Rufus – For more than a year we heard about the impact HB2 was having on North Carolina’s economy. The Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina just announced that in 2016 some 48 million visitors came to our state and spent $22.0 billion. We were the sixth most visited state and 97 of our 100 counties saw an increase in visitor spending. Does this indicate that HB2 had any impact on tourism? To what do you credit the 4.5 percent increase?"
