The Promise Of the Creative Economy
Build Back Beautifully
New research suggests a causal relationship between a thriving Arts economy and overall employment and economic prosperity. The more thriving a local Arts sector, the more economic growth in tourism & hospitality (i.e. hotels, breweries, coffee shops, restaurants, and related businesses).
Because 68% of all tourism is cultural, the way to build back our economy is by investing in the Creative Economy. Hotels, restaurants, travel, and hospitality rely on a thriving Arts & Culture sector.
