Tourism is booming in Holmes County.  Despite only 15 percent of the county’s population being vaccinated against COVID, this year’s sales tax numbers are on pace to be the county’s best ever.  So far this year, the county’s sales tax revenue has exceeded $1 million in four of the seven months.  The numbers are up 34% from where they were a year ago, when the county had its best year-to-date, despite the pandemic.
