Geocaching Trail Brings in Revenue for Athens, Ohio
"We don't have any numbers yet or statistics of the economic impact, I haven't calculated that yet but from what I can estimate, it's been at least a $500,000 economic impact since June of 2010," [Jenna] Dill [Athens County Convention and Visitors Bureau Marketing and Sales Manager] said.
Geocachers who complete the Athens trail receive an official Athens geocoin. That seems to be one draw, though only 200 people have completed the trail. There are some 80 caches in the area.
