This interactive dashboard provides a comprehensive look at Maryland’s tourism economy, helping business leaders, policymakers, and economic developers analyze revenue trends at the state, regional, and sector levels. Built to track tourism-related spending and broader economic shifts, this tool offers valuable insights into how tourism revenue fluctuates over time.

Key features include:

  • Tourism Revenue Trends: Explore total revenue, monthly performance, and year-over-year changes to assess the health of Maryland’s tourism industry.
  • Regional and Sector-Specific Insights: Filter data by region and sector to identify local and industry-specific trends.
