Tourism in St. Helena
From luxurious accommodations and a downtown shopping district to Michelin Star meals and heralded wineries, travel experiences help fuel St. Helena’s economy.
Despite losses due to COVID-19 business closures and community lockdowns, St. Helena is well-positioned for recovery. In 2020, visitors spent $846 million across Napa Valley supporting St. Helena’s hospitality businesses and injecting over $1.3 million in hotel tax revenue for St. Helena’s general fund.
That revenue helps fund essential municipal services throughout St. Helena – which include public safety, infrastructure, development, local libraries, and more – that benefit all St. Helena residents.
Prior to the pandemic, tourism supported a quarter of St. Helena’s general fund. When the threat from coronavirus ends, travel will rebound and the economic impact of tourism in St. Helena will continue to trend upwards.
