Summer tourism season is in full swing in the High Country! Yes, there may be extra traffic, but in a community that's built on volume, the summer dollars mean our favorite local businesses can afford to operate year-around.

On this week's episode of Mind Your Business we examine the impact of the tourism economy on our local community. How do tourism partners work together to create "experiences." How do tourism dollars benefit our community all year long? What are the impacts of the summer season on the local workforce? We answer these questions through the perspectives and experiences of three guests:

Wright Tilley, Executive Director, Explore Boone
Steve Moize, Operations Director, Sky Valley Zip Tours & Mountain Cat Offroad Adventures
Tara Brossa, General Manager of the Courtyard by Marriott of Boone & Hampton Inn & Suites of Boone.

Mind Your Business is a weekly production of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. The program is made possible thanks to the sponsorship support of Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
