Cobb Travel & Tourism is thrilled to announce that a recent study showed that travel and tourism remains the number one economic driver in Cobb County, with the industry having a total economic impact of more than $2.75 billion and employing more than 32,000 in 2014.
The study performed by Robert Lann Consulting, LLC, showed a 7% increase over the previous year for economic impact and 5% for jobs.
Cobb County directly benefits from tourism’s remarkable economic impact as visitors spend their dollars on local accommodations, transportation, entertainment and recreation, food and retail throughout our community. Sweet!

Family Reunion Workshop
Family reunions are an unforgettable occasion. It is a time for relatives to reconnect, celebrate their heritage and gather for enjoyment, entertainment and friendship. And above all, to make new memories.

Admission is free to anyone who is planning a family reunion in Cobb County, but seating is limited to two guests per reunion.
Reservations are also required. Reserve your spot at travelcobb.org. For more information, please contact Dianne Lovett at 678-303-2635 or dlovett@travelcobb.org for reservations.
