TOURISM REPRESENTS HUGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FORT WAYNE

Tourism Draws Many to Fort Wayne 

Putting our first foot forward as a city helps us make a big first impression but has potential to help every corner of Fort Wayne. 

FAMILY-ORIENTED DESTINATIONS

Tom supports developing places like our zoo and other venues that draw families here.

YOUTH SPORTS COMPETITIONS

Building on our success as a city in attracting more visitors for these competitions.

CAPITALIZE ON MUSIC AND ARTS

There are so many ways Fort Wayne can help build on music and the arts in our community. 

AMAZING FOOD OPTIONS

Our food culture in Fort Wayne is amazing and we can help it grow more!


Tourism is an important industry to Fort Wayne because we are a welcoming, safe city with lots of amenities. We have great opportunities to build on the successes we have created since I have been on city council. The more people who visit our city will see Fort Wayne as potential investment, either to move here full time or bring jobs here to help grow the community.

I want to be the mayor of Fort Wayne because I first ran for office to make our city a great place to live, work and play. I need you help to help us take the next step. Sign up, join the family and help me put Fort Wayne first!
