Little Rock CVB launches resident survey to further improve tourism
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau says the tourism industry is vital for Arkansas' capital city. Officials say visitor spending generates over a billion dollars for the city each year. Wendy Camarena is from California, she says coming to Arkansas was at the top of her list. 'Honestly something that you look for in California is the greener and the scenery. Coming to Arkansas was the number one choice for that.' Camarena said. 'Its resources are good for everyday adventure hiking, walking and exploring especially the water.' Show Calendar: Concerts happening in Arkansas in May Gina Gemberling is the President & CEO of the LRCVB. She says the tourism industry has become a significant cornerstone for Little Rock. 'Annually, the economic impact is at $2.6 billion into the local economy and over $80 million in local taxes,' she said. She says people come in for vacations, conventions, business travel and more which generates millions in local and state tax revenue, saving households in Little Rock money. 'The local sales tax that's coming in through our visitors saves each household in Little Rock over $1000 dollars annually,' Gemberling said.

'We want to know what residents think of tourism, what sights and attractions are our residents' vision and what do our residents feel we are missing out on in Little Rock,' Gemberling said. Gemberling said they already did a survey for tourists. Camarena adds she doesn't have many suggestions but does have a few. 'I feel like concerts could be a little more in Little Rock, rather than driving to Rogers for the AMP,' Camarena said.

Gemberling says the for the resident survey will be available for two to four months. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'Then, Wheatus followed us after we both performed at Download festival [in 2024]. It felt like we were being pushed into a position where we had to find the courage to ask one of the most iconic indie rock bands to collaborate with us, on our track. I mean, the audacity, right? Fortunately they loved it, and being fortunate enough to collaborate with them feels out of this world!'
