Tourism is the act of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation, relaxation, and pleasure, while using commercial services, according to Britannica Dictionary. Local tourism is looking healthy as evidenced by the transient guest tax from 2015 through 2022, which just completed its first quarter, Jackson Tough, Fort Scott’s Public Relations and Tourism Director said. “Transient guest tax is probably the most common form of raising funds to promote tourism in a given community,” Tough said. “It’s simply a tax on hotel/motel rooms that visitors pay when they stay in Fort Scott.”
