Tourism Is Big Business in Beaver County

The tourism industry currently brings in nearly 40-billion dollars into Pennsylvania’s economy…and at least 250-million of that comes back to Beaver County. Those numbers are good…but Tim Ishman – Director of the Beaver County Recreation and Tourism Department – says that doesn’t mean they can’t get better. Ishman tells Beaver County Radio’s Pat Septak that his New Year’s resolution is to attract more visitors than ever to Beaver County…and he’s hoping to do that with the help of YouTube. Ishman says he believes that tourism will soon be the #1 industry in Pennsylvania.
