Napa County Visitor Profile Study
The findings of the visitor profile study show that visitors to Napa County regarded it as a destination with unique attractions, quality customer service, and friendly people. The destination resonates with visitors and appeals to their needs.
Napa County visitors are a highly loyal market, with a very significant proportion
of them returning time and again. Nearly two-thirds of traveling parties identified
Napa County as their primary destination on the current trip. The visitors’ overall
perceptions of Napa County as a travel destinations were very positive, and such
perceptions were enhanced by their actual visitation to the area. Their experience
of Napa County exceeded their prior expectation. Other key findings of the visitor
profile study are highlighted as follows.
Napa County Visitor Profile Key Findings
Napa County travel market is predominantly comprised of domestic
visitors, with close to half coming from within the state of California,
and rest from across the United States.
Although small in proportion, the international visitors in 2005 represented more than 20 countries.
Napa County visitors are more mature in age, more educated, and
command a much higher household income than the U.S. and California average.
More than half of the respondents in the study reported a household
income of $100,000 or more, and they were significantly more likely to
spend at least one night in Napa County than those whose household
income was below $100,000.
Amongst visitors representing their travel parties in the study, there
were more managers, executives, and professionals than other occupational categories.
Visitors are predominantly Caucasians, and heterosexual. There are
slightly more male visitors than there are female.
Visitors identified their friends and relatives, AAA Travel Guide, Tour
Books, and The Napa Valley Visitors Bureau as the most searched for
or used sources of information for their travel to Napa.
About half of Napa visitors used the Internet to search for Napa-related travel information.
In addition to themselves, the visitors’ decision to come to Napa
County was also influenced by their spouses, companions, and their
companies.
Amongst other reasons, Napa County visitors came mainly for wines
and wineries, food, friends, and families. Community downtowns,
wineries, museums and art galleries, and spas were the types of attractions visited most often.
Napa County visitors typically traveled with their spouses, partners, or
companions. Few brought children on the trip.
Visitors do not regard Napa County as having a good amount of
nightlife. Nor is it regarded as an ideal place to bring children.
More than 90 percent of visitors reported that they were either very
likely or likely to return for future visits. Among them, close to twothirds would come back within a year.

The findings of the economic impact study clearly indicate that the
tourism industry is an extremely important part of what makes Napa
County such a vibrant and economically progressive community. The
average visitor to Napa County spends $197 per day with those staying over-night spending $233 per day. The visitors’ spending impacts
almost every segment of the county’s economy in a significant way
with almost one billion dollars in direct spending and $1.3 billion in
total impact. Over 17,000 jobs are created which provide nearly half
a billion dollars in income to residents. Each resident of the county
sees the benefit of almost $1,000 in indirect business taxes injected
into the community by visitors and utilized to improve the quality of
life for residents and visitors alike. Other key findings of the economic
impact study are highlighted as follows.

Doing Business in Napa
Supporting a Sustainable Future
The Napa Chamber of Commerce is pleased to assist website visitors searching their online Business Directory for environment-friendly
businesses by adding two new categories: Green Certified and Green Minded Businesses. Green Certified designates businesses that have
completed a Green Certification program. Green Minded Business is a general directory category created to acknowledge member companies that are practicing green business in some manner.
“Businesses who are working toward sustainability, using practices that are environmentally sensitive, socially equitable, and economically
viable, are good for the community,” said Jeri Gill, chairman of the Napa Chamber Board of Directors. “It’s great to see so many of our local
businesses working together with community members and leaders to educate themselves and each other about green business practices.
More and more consumers are increasingly interested in sustainability and as a result, they are expecting it from those with whom they do
business and they support them with their dollars.”
Many of the Chamber’s green minded businesses have been recognized by the community with awards and are leading the way by example.
They are taking steps to conserve natural resources and prevent pollution, such as using more efficient lighting, purchasing in bulk, watering landscapes efficiently, recycling cardboard, using less toxic products, etc. Successful business is dependent on a healthy environment
and the Napa Chamber supports these efforts. “We applaud these member businesses for their proactive green practices, which contribute
to a healthy and sustainable environment as well as contributing to a strong local economy,” said Kate King, Chamber CEO.
Visit www.napachamber.com and click on the global recycling logo to access the business directory for these categories.
For more information about going green, check the Bay Area Green Business Program website www.greenbiz.ca.gov.
