DULUTH, Minn- The tax money generated from hotels, food, and beverage sales in the city of Duluth, is down by nearly 30% due to the financial impacts of the pandemic.
This loss of revenue is forcing the city to tighten the belt on the distribution of money collected from tourism.
Nearly 60% of the tourism tax budget will help fund many of the city’s debt obligations.
The rest will help support local organizations and tourist attractions, but not everyone will get a large piece of the pie.
