CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) – The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau is saying 2024 was a record year for tourism – but where will that extra revenue go?

There are several ways to measure tourism, with hotels being the heavy hitters.

“One of the metrics that we score is hotel room stays because that’s money that stays within the county through the hotels,” Director of the Happy Valley Sports and Entertainment Alliance Eric Engelbarts said.
