Costa Mesa annually embraces millions of travelers at various points of interest throughout the city, such as South Coast Plaza<\/a>, OC Fair & Event Center<\/a>, Segerstrom Center for the Arts<\/a>, Orange County Museum of Arts<\/a>, The LAB<\/a>, and The CAMP<\/a>. The fabulous restaurants and retail boutiques contribute to the city\u2019s unique charm. Costa Mesa\u2019s allure lies in its ever-changing landscape, ensuring there\u2019s always something new to see, do, and taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During National Travel and Tourism Week<\/a>, we are honoring those who warmly embrace our visitors, promote our city with genuine passion and enthusiasm, and collaborate with others to achieve mutual success. We recognize our creative and driven business owners, big and small, and their incredibly dedicated staff, who show up daily to take care of our guests. We see our community pride growing as more stories and engagement spread. You are indispensable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As the city\u2019s destination marketing organization, Travel Costa Mesa<\/a> recognizes the significant role of tourism in our community. The jobs it creates and the security it brings are vital for our economy. Did you know that approximately 8 percent of all jobs in Costa Mesa are sustained by tourism? The transient occupancy tax our hoteliers<\/a> collect in our city accounts for the fourth most significant revenue source in the city\u2019s general fund, contributing to the city\u2019s funding of police, fire, and other public services. Sales tax collected from retail and dining is crucial in financing essential city, state, and county services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tourism has the potential to stimulate new business growth. The increased demand for goods and services, infrastructure, cultural and creative industries, collaboration, and business networking creates opportunities for entrepreneurs and enhances the visitor experience, generating more demand for goods and services. We take pride in being a part of a diverse industry that provides opportunities for economic growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration is highly valued in our industry as it fosters success for businesses, guests, and residents. However, Travel Costa Mesa recognizes that it needs help to achieve its mission. Partnerships with forward-thinking companies and positive, creative individuals are essential to our objectives. We’ve partnered with multiple businesses and entrepreneurs in Costa Mesa and look forward to establishing more connections that enhance our travel and hospitality industry. When tourism thrives, communities thrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
