See the Economic Impact of Travel in Corpus Christi 

A recent economic impact study found that the impact of the Corpus Christi travel and tourism industry leads Texas beach destinations across the state.

Data from Dean Runyan Associates, San Antonio-based Source Strategies, and STR Inc., a national hotel data company pieced together a study led by the Visit Corpus Christi research team to quantify the impact travel and tourism has on Corpus Christi.

The primary highlight of the report shows overnight hotel stays and lodging revenue in Corpus Christi continue to lead all Texas coastal destinations which include Galveston, South Padre Island, Port Aransas, and Rockport.

“This study proves that Corpus Christi truly is the Gulf Coast Capital.” Said Brett Oetting, President & CEO of Visit Corpus Christi. “More people are choosing to travel to, and spend money in Corpus Christi for fun than any other Texas coastal city and that should make the community very proud.”
