Tourism Works
for St. Johns County
Not every St. Johns County resident works in tourism, but tourism works for
every resident. As the heartbeat of St. Johns County, our vibrant tourism industry
enhances citizens’ day-to-day lives – and keeps more money in their paychecks, too.
Students, young professionals and families all enjoy an improved quality of life thanks
to our guests, and the revenue generated by tourism ensures future generations will enjoy living,
working and playing in St. Johns County just as much as we do. Learn why tourism works for us:
