Solar eclipse tourism could bring up to $603 million to Texas economy, UTSA prof says
In case anyone is wondering how much money visitors are bringing to Texas as they descend on the Hill Country to view Monday's eclipse, a San Antonio college professor has crunched the numbers. Bülent Temel, a political economist at UTSA, estimates that tourism to witness the celestial event will dump between $150 million and $603 million into the state's economy, radio program The Texas Standard reports. Tumel previously called the eclipse “the most profitable 22 minutes in Texas history.”
