Tourism is Oklahoma’s third-largest industry, the news release stated.
“Route 66 is such a key piece of our tourism economy,” said Dick Dutton, executive director of the department. “Thousands of tourists visit the state each year to drive the highway. They stop in our cities and towns, bringing in millions of dollars and helping create jobs in both urban and rural areas.”
