The tourism industry in Nashville has seen rapid expansion in recent years. In 2019, the city welcomed more than 16 million visitors, contributing significantly to the local economy.

Nashville's construction industry is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating a 3.3% increase in jobs for the natural resources, mining, and construction sector in 2025, outpacing the national average of 1.8%.
