HIGHLIGHTS
Economic Impact of Hospitality Industry
Attracted 34.4 million visitors to SA metro area including 20.9 million overnight visitors.
Economic Impact 20164
The industry provides a large number of both part-time and full-time jobs in dozens of occupations, including culinary, customer service, administration, finance, maintenance, marketing and human resources.
San Antonio has long been a premier meeting destination and is known as a favorite vacation destination among visitors from around the world. These visitors, and the Hospitality Industry they support, produce a number of economic benefits for the city.
Visitor spending impacts virtually every corner of the local economy – sports, food service, transportation, cultural events, healthcare and much more.
The presence of so many visitors helps promote a vibrant and diverse cultural and social atmosphere that is attractive to San Antonio residents and
visitors. Many of the amenities and attractions that locals enjoy on a daily basis are available to them because these attractions are also supported by millions of visitors.
INTRODUCTION
Economic Impact 2016 5
Because visitors bring new dollars to San Antonio, their spending has a multiplier effect. Each dollar of visitor spending generates approximately one additional
dollar of income for San Antonio as the effects of this spending work their way through the local economy.
For the purposes of this report, the Hospitality Industry has been defined to include only those businesses that derive a significant portion of their sales from out-of-town visitors. Whether they come to San Antonio on a vacation, to attend a convention, or for business, these visitors patronize local companies that provide transportation and travel arrangements, lodging, recreational activities, and food and beverage services. Of course, the full economic impact of these businesses also includes their sales to local customers.
The economic impact analysis is based on data obtained from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). Following the same methodology used in the previous bi-annual Economic Impact Studies of the Hospitality Industry, the current work is based on TWC’s quarterly wage and employment data aggregated along the lines of business defined by the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS).

Number of Employees by SectorHospitality Industry 2015
Economic Impact 20168
Overall Economic Impact: $13.6 BillionThe Hospitality Industry’s economic impact in 2015 was $13.6 billion. For a variety of technical reasons, this estimate is conservative. The true economic impact is no doubt considerably greater. The Hospitality Industry falls into four sectors:
Annual Payroll: $2.9 BillionThe Hospitality Industry’s annual payroll was $2.9 billion in 2015. It should be noted that these figures reflect only direct wage payments. Total compensation, including benefits and gratuities, would be significantly higher.
Total Employment: 130,796During 2015, the Hospitality Industry provided an average of 130,796 jobs. This represents more than one-eighth of the total number of jobs in the San Antonio metropolitan area. Many of these jobs provide life-long career opportunities and help employees develop skills that translate into many areas of business.

Liza BarratacheaPresidentSAN ANTONIO HOTEL &LODGING ASSOCIATION

Her current job is the Executive Director at the San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association (where lederhosen are not required). She lives in City District 9 and works in City District 2.
In the past ten years, the Hospitality Industry’s economic impact has grown substantially, from $9.3 billion in 2005 to $13.6 billion in 2015. The growth over a 25-year horizon is even more impressive: a more than 300% gain from the $3.3 billion impact the industry had in 1990. What is especially striking is that the industry grew steadily from 2005 to 2015 despite challenging national economic conditions during much of that period.
It is a great advantage for San Antonio to have as one of its major industries one that is so resilient over the business cycle. The number of employees in the industry has also grown, as the graph indicates. Employment increased by more than one-third over the decade, and 114% since 1990.

The City of San Antonio is not the only local government entity that depends on revenues from the Hospitality Industry.
» The Industry pays sales, property and hotel occupancy taxes to other municipalities
» Bexar County collects property and hotel occupancy taxes
» School Districts, the Alamo Community College District, the University Health System and the San Antonio River Authority all levy property taxes paid by Hospitality Industry businesses
» Many of these businesses also collect sales taxes to support VIA Metropolitan Transit and the Advanced Transportation District.
Million in Revenue & Fees to Local Government
» $194.5 Million to City of San Antonio
» $44.5 Million to Bexar County
- $17.1 Million in Hotel Occupancy Tax
- $9.2 Million in Rental Car Tax
- $18.2 Million in Property Tax
» $79.3 Million in Property Tax to School Districts
» $25.6 Million in Property Tax to other taxing entities
» $30.6 Million in VIA and ATD Sales Tax
The government revenues itemized above add up to approximately $375 million. Since this estimate excludes some property, sales and hotel taxes paid by hospitality-related businesses outside the San Antonio city limits, the full contribution of the industry to local government is in fact significantly greater than this estimate.
These revenues help reduce the taxes paid by those who live in the San Antonio metropolitan area. Without the tax payments from the hospitality industry, the city, county and state would either have to reduce services or find additional resources to balance their respective budgets.
