The City Council of Mission has made it official: March 2024 is now Winter Texan Month! 🎉 Nestled in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, Mission boasts a remarkable 47 RV parks, the highest count among all municipalities in the region. It's no wonder our city is a favorite destination for Winter Texans seeking sunshine and relaxation.



But the impact of our Winter Texan visitors goes far beyond just enjoying our beautiful scenery. According to the latest data from the UTRGV Data and Information Systems Center, Winter Texans and their visiting family members contribute a whopping $1.9 billion to our region's economy each year. That's not just a number; it's a testament to the vibrant economic activity they bring to our community.

Mission stands proudly at the forefront, ranking 1st in Texas and an impressive 6th nationally for Winter Texan visitors. It's a testament to the warm welcome and hospitality our city extends to all who choose to spend their winters with us.

On behalf of the Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce and our entire community, we extend our deepest gratitude to our Winter Texan friends. Your presence enriches our lives in countless ways, from supporting local businesses to fostering a sense of community spirit. We're immensely grateful for everything you do.

So let's celebrate! Throughout March, let's embrace the joy, warmth, and camaraderie our Winter Texan community brings to Mission. Here's to a month filled with laughter, friendship, and unforgettable memories.
