Salt Lake City’s hospitality industry is experiencing a surge fueled by tourism as the city establishes itself as a hub for fintech and business. Utah is home to 15 of the nation’s 23 industrial banks, making it a heavyweight in the financial industry.
This momentum is amplified by excitement over the 2034 Winter Olympics. Ahead of the Games, the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee has already locked in 21,000-plus rooms across 11 counties.
Meanwhile, massive ongoing developments like the Delta Center and the rebuilding of the Salt Palace Convention Center, as well as city-shaping projects like the Gateway District, are expected to create high-value corporate and sports tourism long after the last drive down the slopes of the Winter Games.
