Tennessee State Parks report $2.1 billion economic impact in 2021

Tennessee State Parks reports an impact of $2.1 billion in the 2021 fiscal year, which stems from more than 38 million park visits across the state. This report was conducted by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, which says these numbers reflect the impressive performance of one of the best park systems in the country.

According to a press release, figures show a steady climb in economic impact and number of visits over recent years. The numbers reflect park activity through lodging, shopping, and recreation spending. Tennessee State Parks are one of only seven in the nation that do not charge admission fees, yet economic revenue continues to grow. More information can be found on TNStateParks.com.
