Recent data from 3 US states by Tourism Economics research found the total economic impact of distillery tourism generated: US$715.2 million in Texas, US$546.4 million in New York, US$417.8 million in California. We display profiles of over 520 rum producers in the USA, from 49 states. And, the opportunity is global. The UK has over 140 rum producers (90 in England), that’s more than the Caribbean. While some producers cannot be visited and others are not primarily focused on rum, we live in a digital-first landscape where all brands can thrive. Rum producers who have not yet verified their profiles can do so now, allowing rum lovers worldwide to better understand you. The rum landscape is changing all the time.

As we close out 2023, it's time to reflect on some key events. The idea for The Rum Geography started in early 2023 during a tour of distilleries in Martinique. By summer, the building blocks were formed and we launched end of November - only six weeks ago! Despite the hurdles, it's been an incredible achievement to build a platform that rum has needed for a long time. We have learned, adapted, grown, and had fun along the way. Backed by rum distilleries across the world, your positive feedback has driven us forward. We can't thank you enough and look forward to continuing to share this journey to make rum more accessible. What’s in store for 2024? More website functions, travel collaborations, new maps, and a more developed interactive site. We'll onboard rum enthusiasts from around the globe and welcome newbies to explore cultural experiences and local distilleries. For people serious about the health of the rum category, there will be an opportunity to contribute and strengthen the industry. Distilleries can share their sustainability and transparency initiatives with the most informed consumers in history. Rum will become much better understood globally, travel planning will have more options, and finding distilleries will be much quicker and easier. For now, we wish you all the best for 2024, and here's a recap of What Happened in Rum 2023 https://lnkd.in/eADGzBRM #rum #spiritsindustry #drinksindustry #yearendreview #newbeginnings
