The cycle of economic success from the Tulsa region’s tourism industry is strong and growing stronger. Thanks to the hard work of Tulsa Regional Tourism staff, board members, volunteers and investors, we have gained distinction as a welcoming city for diverse events and visitors.
Housed at the Tulsa Regional Chamber, Tulsa Regional Tourism is an umbrella organization that includes Visit Tulsa, the leisure marketing leg; the Tulsa Convention and Visitors Bureau; the Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts and Culture, an accredited film commission; and the Tulsa Sports Commission, which markets Tulsa as a destination for pro and amateur sporting events.
Tulsa Regional Tourism assists in the community’s bidding for, and hosting of, signature events such as NCAA Division I men’s basketball, NCAA Division I and the Big 12 Wrestling Championships, USA BMX Grand Nationals, the PGA and Senior PGA Championships, the Arabian Horse Association’s U.S. Nationals, the Pinto Horse Association World Championship Show, the Chili Bowl Midget Nationals indoor car racing, the SeneGence International Evolve Seminar, and many more events and conferences.
For fiscal year from July 2021-June 2022, the total economic impact of the conferences and events Tulsa hosted was $359 million. More than 231,000 hotel room nights were booked along the way. Tulsa Regional Tourism brought in 316 event leads to the region against a goal of 260. As in previous years, the best news is that we are continuing to add to our tourism portfolio as a region.
Case in point: Tulsa will host the biggest USA Taekwondo Team Trial in history at the Cox Business Convention Center in February 2023. After successfully hosting the June 2022 USA Taekwondo Central Grand Prix, it was easy for Tulsa to land this massive event. In fact, this will be the first time the US Team Trial and Pan Am Games Qualifier Team Trial have ever been combined. The event will bring a total economic impact of more than $1.5 million to the Tulsa region, along with 2,000 attendees who have booked more than 1,800 hotel room nights.
Beyond sports and large conferences, Tulsa is also gaining a reputation as a hub for creativity of all types, including music, film and the visual arts. To better support our growing creative community, Tulsa FMAC maintains a regional creativity database and promotes Tulsa’s talent and assets at events like South by Southwest and the Sundance Film Festival. In fact, Tulsa continues to make “MovieMaker Magazine’s” Best Cities to Live and Work as a Moviemaker, reaching No. 5 on the list of Small Cities and Towns in 2022 and elevating to the large cities category for the first time in 2023 at No. 19 of the top 25 in North America.
Despite the challenges to tourism as a result of the pandemic, Tulsa’s tourism outlook remains strong, and with the most recent Oxford Economics study findings there is every reason to believe it will grow even stronger in the years ahead.
