$5 billion-plus in visitor spending and related activity lifted North Dakota's tourism impact as statewide travel rose nearly 3% from a year earlier.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park helped power that gain, with visitation up more than 27% through April, and the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opened July 4.
Canadian visits also increased in April for the first time in more than a year, adding another sign that inbound travel is strengthening.
State officials said tourism's economic contribution also saved North Dakota households nearly $1,000 a year in taxes, underscoring the sector's broader fiscal value.
