The San Bernardino / Riverside area near Los Angeles boasts tourism as its biggest industry, according to an article in the San Bernardino County Sun.

Tourism employed 97,100 people last year, according to a study by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation.

While the bulk of the tourism-related business for the region is in the Coachella Valley, Kyser said the role of the Ontario Convention Center, San Bernardino's Route 66 celebration and the recreational draw of the San Bernardino Mountains can not be minimized.

The next-highest segment, trade and logistics, created 45,000 jobs.
