Onslow County Tourism Pays Off | Greenville News

Onslow County pulled in a whopping $417 million in tourism revenue last year, ranking 19th statewide — despite a tiny 0.1% dip from the prior year. Food and drinks alone accounted for $137 million, while outdoor gems like North Topsail Beach and Mike’s Farm drew crowds. Tourism director Salem Clarke credits steady growth to these unique spots and pushes locals to support small businesses, keeping money circulating right in the community. Best of all? Every resident gets a $134 tax break thanks to visitor spending — proof that tourism isn’t just fun, it’s financially sweet for everyone.
