Gasoline, Hotels & Restaurants
This data combines tax revenue from three key sectors: gasoline sales (SIC 5541), hotels/lodging (Major Group 70), and restaurants/dining establishments (Major Group 58). These sectors are closely connected to tourism and visitor spending in South Dakota cities.
When people visit a city, they typically:
- Purchase gasoline for travel
- Stay in hotels or other lodging
- Dine at local restaurants
By looking at the combined tax revenue from these three areas, we can see how much economic activity is driven by visitors versus local residents.
