Visitor Economy

Tourism Powers the Greater Burlington Economy

Tourism is an economic powerhouse in Chittenden County, generating over $1 billion in direct visitor spending each year and keeping our small businesses, cultural attractions and signature events thriving. When we welcome visitors, we strengthen the quality of life for residents and fuel the energy that makes this region so magnetic.

Beyond its immediate economic impact, tourism is also one of our strongest tools for attracting students, talent and long-term economic investment.

Hello Burlington

Hello Burlington is the destination marketing initiative of Greater Burlington. As a division of the Lake Champlain Chamber, we promote the region for leisure travel, business meetings and events—inspiring prospective visitors to come and helping travelers get the information they need to have a great stay. In partnership with local hospitality businesses, our work drives more business to our local establishments year-round.
