❓ Why is History on the House important to us at Visit Irving, Texas?
🏨 When visitors stay in Irving hotels, they pay hotel occupancy taxes. Revenue from those taxes helps fund amenities that benefit Irving residents, including the Irving Archives and Museum.
📊 Our recent resident sentiment survey found that many Irving residents know about local attractions and cultural gems but haven't experienced them firsthand.
💡 We want to change that! We also want more residents to understand how tourism contributes to the quality of life in Irving.
🎟️ That's what History on the House is all about. Throughout October, we're providing free admission to the Irving Archives and Museum, giving residents an opportunity to discover this award-winning attraction in their own city.
❤️ For the Visit Irving team, it's about more than attracting visitors. It's about making a positive difference in the community we serve.
👏 Thank you to our staff, board members and friends who joined us for last week's History on the House reception!
