3 Executive Summary Micronomics has quantified the local economic impact of 2012 visitor spending on Los Angeles County. Based on our analysis, we have concluded that visitation to LA in 2012 produced at least $30.5 billion in economic benefits to Los Angeles County, including $3.2 billion from transportation, $4.4 billion from lodging, $4.3 billion from food and beverage, $1.7 billion from entertainment, $1.8 billion from shopping, $1 billion from other tourism activities, and $14 billion in multiplier effects. Tax revenues include $1.1 billion in state tax revenue, $422 million in Transient Occupancy Tax ( TOT ) revenue, $17 million in Tourism Market District ( TMD ) tax revenue, $186 million in local sales tax revenue, and $437 million in other local tax revenue. Background Los Angeles County attracts millions of visitors every year. It is the entertainment capital of the world and features unequaled nightlife, food, fashion, and art. Los Angeles County includes 88 cities and has the largest population of any county in the nation. 1 Los Angeles has an expansive reach of over 470 square miles filled with unique regions that illuminate its rich culture and diversity. 2 The county s varied landscape allows visitors to experience the local beauty in both mountainous and coastal terrain. Popular beach cities include Venice, Santa Monica, and Malibu. These coastal attractions offer entertainment-filled piers, farmers markets, and sport venues for beach volleyball, surfing, handball and tennis, among others. 3 The San Gabriel Mountains, located in the northern part of the county, provide an excellent spot for hiking, skiing, and camping. 4 Griffith Park, the largest municipal park with an urban wilderness area in the United States, is also frequently visited by tourists interested in a scenic view of the iconic Hollywood sign and Universal Studios Hollywood as well as hiking and horseback riding. 5 Over the last few years, downtown Los Angeles has transitioned from a business-only region to a substantial urban center. 6 Revitalized restaurants, museums, entertainment, and nightlife are now open on the weekends and bring in a new stream of visitors. 7 L.A. LIVE is centrally located downtown and includes the Nokia Theatre and the STAPLES Center.

4 impressive list of concerts and sporting events. The Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Sparks all play in this entertainment complex. Other downtown attractions include the Walt Disney Concert Hall at the Music Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and Exposition Park. 8 While downtown has always appealed to the discount market and those in business and finance, it has now become a popular region for those interested in art, music, and entertainment as well. Hollywood is typically an essential destination for visitors to Los Angeles County. The city features venues such as the iconic Dolby Theatre, best known for hosting such events as the Academy Awards. Other famous venues include the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Universal Studios Hollywood, and the Hollywood Bowl, an internationally renowned outdoor amphitheater that features the top names in music. 9 This glitzy area is also known for its elaborate shows, restaurants, and shopping. Other popular regions in Los Angeles County include Beverly Hills, home to more than one hundred designer and couture boutiques on the world famous Rodeo Drive; West Hollywood and its stunning views of the Los Angeles skyline, Hollywood Hills and Sunset Strip; Santa Monica, California s most celebrated beach city; and Pasadena, host of the Rose Bowl and Parade. 10 According to Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics firm specializing in tourism analytics, Los Angeles County attracted a record 41.4 million visitors in 2012 (see Graph 1). 11 This represents a 2.5 percent increase over 2011 visitor attendance. 12 Domestic visitation accounted for approximately 85 percent of total visitation while the remaining 15 percent were international visitors. 13 China became the county s top overseas market for the first time with 460 thousand people visiting in Downtown / LA Metro, Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board website ( 9 Hollywood, Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board website ( 10 How to Explore Regions of LA, Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board website ( 11 Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p Los Angeles Tourism Breaks Record in 2012 with 41.4 Million Visitors, Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board Press Release, January 15, Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p. 3. 2
5 Graph 1: Visitors to Los Angeles County, The tourism industry is one of the county s highest job generators. 16 The growth seen in visitation to Los Angeles in 2012 has led to a corresponding growth in employment in the leisure and hospitality industry. 17 As Los Angeles continues to revitalize regions and introduce new attractions, the county will reap significant economic benefits through tourism. Economic Impact of 2012 Visitor Spending in Los Angeles County Our analysis addresses two components of the economic impact associated with the ability of Los Angeles to host domestic and international visitors in The first is direct spending by visitors to Los Angeles. This includes spending on transportation, lodging, food and beverage, entertainment, and shopping. The second is the multiplier effect understood by economists to reflect the circulation of incremental spending within the local economy. Growth in the number of visitors to Los Angeles County provides increased income for taxi and airport shuttle operators, restaurant and club owners, hotel employees, etc. Recipients of this income use at least a portion to make purchases that they otherwise would not have made, thereby producing another round of beneficiaries. These multiplier effects are directly attributable to visitor spending since they would not benefit Los Angeles if people visited elsewhere. Methodology for Calculating Visitor Direct Spending We used reported spending figures by category provided by the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board ( LATCB ) as the focal point of our analysis. These spending figures were broken down to reflect both domestic and international visitors (see Tables 1 and 2). The sum of 15 Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p Economic Forecast and Industry Outlook, LAEDC Kyser Center for Economic Research, February 2012, p Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p. 5. 3
6 domestic and international spending was taken to calculate the total visitor spending by category (see Table 3). According to Tourism Economics and Dean Runyan & Associates California Air Visitor Analysis, both domestic room demand and domestic air arrivals in Los Angeles grew in Domestic room night demand grew an estimated five percent and domestic air travel grew three percent in the first three quarters of Transportation was the largest spending category for day visitors and lodging was the largest spending category for overnight domestic visitors. Altogether, domestic visitors to Los Angeles County spent approximately $11 billion in Table 1: 2012 Domestic Visitor Spending by Category in Los Angeles County Category Day Overnight Total Domestic (Percent) (Millions) (Percent) (Millions) (Percent) (Millions) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (3) + (5) 1.

They also tend to spend more on shopping and entertainment than domestic overnight visitors. As a result, their spending per day and average daily hotel rates are typically higher as well. 22 Domestic overnight spending breakdowns were used for categorizing visitor spending from Mexico and Canada due to their close vicinity to the United States. Total international visitor spending in LA County was approximately $5.4 billion in Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p Data from Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board. 20 Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p Tracking Visitor Volumes for Los Angeles, Tourism Economics PowerPoint, December 2012, p Marketing and Planning Resource for Members, Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board, 2011, p Data from Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board. 4

In total, visitor spending in Los Angeles County was an estimated $16.5 billion. 26 Table 3: 2012 Total Visitor Spending by Category in Los Angeles County Category Total Spending (Percent) (Millions) (1) (2) (3) 1.

These models reflect the relationship between inputs and resulting economic outputs, and recognize the impact that an increase or decrease in economic activity in one sector of the economy can have on economic activity in other sectors. The Minnesota IMPLAN Group, Inc. compiles data that provide the framework for an economic multiplier model used to measure output gains resulting from increased spending in sectors such as transportation, accommodations, food and beverage, entertainment and shopping. Based on the estimated incremental spending noted above, total direct spending associated with 2012 visitation to Los Angeles resulted in a secondary economic impact of $14 billion. Included in this estimate is approximately $2.16 billion in state and local tax revenue. Using information from the California State Board of Equalization, we were able to further break down the tax revenue data provided by IMPLAN. 29 We calculated $1.1 billion in state tax revenue, $421.9 million in local TOT revenue ($174.7 million of which went to the city of LA), $17.1 million in city of Los Angeles TMD revenue, $186.3 million in local sales tax revenue ($73.1 million of which went to the city of LA) and $436.9 million in other local tax revenue resulted from the hosting of visitors in Los Angeles County (see Table 5). Altogether, the economic effect is estimated to be $30.5 billion. This economic benefit supported 324,099 jobs in Los Angeles County (see Table 6) IMPLAN Economic Impact Modeling System.
