Visit Fairfax's CEO joins Good Day DC

It’s National Travel and Tourism Week and Fox 5 DC welcomed Visit Fairfax’s CEO Barry Biggar to chat about the county sponsored by Visit Fairfax. Tourism is a powerful economic engine for Fairfax County, generating $3.6 billion annually and supporting thousands of local jobs, from hotel staff and servers to farmers, artists, and winemakers. Visitor spending also generates essential tax revenue, which helps fund public services and saves the average Fairfax County household hundreds of dollars each year. Without this economic boost, residents would face a significantly higher tax burden. When tourism thrives, our economy grows, our communities flourish, and everyone benefits.
