The San Antonio Missions, including Mission San José broke a fiancial impact record held for almost a decade, generating more than $160 million in 2021.San Antonio Missions National Historic Park last year generated its biggest economic impact in at least nine years, drawing an estimated $165 million into the area through visitor spending and job wages, reports the National Park Service.
The total estimated economic output of $165 million is the highest since 2012, the earliest year for which estimates are readily available, when the park service estimated the financial impact at $41.9 million.
