FORT WORTH A CITY ON THE RISE Tourists, business travelers, artists and entrepreneurs alike are discovering Fort Worth in record numbers. With an evolving reputation as a sophisticated international destination that embraces its western roots, the city hosted over 9.1 million visitors in 2017. The Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District lies at the heart of this embodiment of cowboy culture and authentic western heritage. AT-A-GLANCE • The meeting and convention market is currently underserved. The new Hotel Drover at the Stockyards is directly addressing the need for more meeting space and adjacent lodging, retail and restaurants. • Filmmakers are returning to Fort Worth, bringing hundreds of commercials, shows and other projects. The Fort Worth Film Commission is working to continue this momentum, and at the Stockyards a robust program is in place for film and photo shoots against a picturesque backdrop that continues to fascinate art directors and filmmakers alike. • Recognized as the first music-friendly city in Texas, Fort Worth is embracing creative talent and celebrating new, signature sounds. • The Fort Worth Stockyards, an authentic historic district in the heart of Fort Worth, draws approximately 3 million visitors annually. • More than 800,000 people travel to Fort Worth each year just to watch the twice-daily cattle drive. Authentic drovers guide longhorn cattle along Exchange Avenue, allowing photo-taking and answering questions while giving people the opportunity to experience this unique piece of western history in an up-close- and-personal way. • The Stockyards and the enhancements represented in this project are responsive to Fort Worth’s mission to build on the foundation of its western values and update their meaning to reflect evolving community and marketplace trends.
