A city known for being livable, Mansfield, Texas, has now received formal recognition for its ability to draw tourists, being named a Tourism Friendly Texas Certified Community. The distinction, the sixth given by Travel Texas in the first year of the program, was announced by the City of Mansfield’s municipal administration. The designation, which is the result of Visit Mansfield’s campaign, highlights a strategic commitment to increase tourism as a fuel for job creation and economic growth and raise the city’s brand as a travel destination in Texas and beyond.
“One in eleven jobs in Texas are supported by tourism, which is vital to our local and state economies,” Governor Greg Abbott stated. In a recent social media post by the City of Mansfield, Governor Abbott highlighted the importance of the tourism industry, writing that “Travelers to and within Texas generated more than $193.8 billion in economic impact and supported 1.3 million jobs across the state in 2023.” In addition to congratulating the community, he urged other Texas municipalities to apply as soon as possible in order to get the same honor, which would increase the statewide impact of local tourism and employment prospects.
This accreditation recognizes Visit Mansfield’s commitment to increasing the city’s allure for tourists by emphasizing its numerous local attractions. Premier sports facilities, an award-winning parks system, and a unique mix of food and shopping options that suit a variety of palates are just a few of Mansfield’s attractions.
