Thomas County Tops Kansas Travel and Tourism Employment
Thomas County leads Kansas in travel and tourism employment, about 176 times the state average, driven by its location along Interstate 70 and midway between Kansas City and Denver. Ellis County also shows high figures, while Sheridan and Gray Counties register the lowest quotients. Wallace County surprises by ranking high despite being far from interstates, aided by railroad-related growth in Sharon Springs and local motel and dining facilities.
