How Cities Skylines Tourism Works

Tourists arrive in your city by different kinds of transport to visit monuments, parks and commercial districts. For you, it’s beneficial because tourists spend money in your city.

The number of tourists is determined by the attractiveness of your city. Thus the more attractive buildings and districts you build, the more tourists arrive in your city.

The most challenging thing about tourism is that having a big number of visitors means having heavy traffic . So your goal is to plan your city in the way that tourists arrive and have all the needed access and don’t trigger jams.

How Tourists Arrive

Let’s focus on the way tourists arrive in your city. At the beginning of the game, they arrive only by car. As time goes by, and you unlock new transportation options, they start arriving by train, plane, ships, and even by space elevator in the late game. 

After arrival, they want to go to the place that attracts them (a unique building, park, or commercial zone). This means they need a proper way of getting there. Sure tourists will choose the fastest transportation option. Thus you need to have public transport that is optimized for delivering big groups of people to points of interest. This is somewhat similar to organizing transport for your citizens with the only difference – the starting point is not a residential zone but an entry point such as an airport, a seaport, a railway station.

How to Handle Cities Skylines Tourist Traffic

There are two main Cities Skylines traffic tips for tourism:

  • Establish control over touristic traffic . This means you need to decide where they arrive and where they should go. For example, you can allow only one railway station to accept external traffic. Thanks to this, you will know that the visitors arriving by train will spawn there only. It makes it easier for you to organize proper transportation to the points of interest. Sure such concentrated touristic traffic requires more capacity for your public transport but you’re the one who decides. Also, it’s better to arrange tourist areas by placing unique buildings close to each other to have better control over the traffic.
  • Avoid crossing touristic routes with other traffic. If the bus line delivering your citizens from a residential area to industrial uses the same streets as the line for transporting tourists from a seaport to unique buildings then you may get traffic jams . It makes sense to separate these lines when possible.

How to Increase Cities Skylines City Attractiveness

In City Skylines tourism is boosted when you increase city attractiveness. This means you need to build monuments, parks, and specialized commercial zones to get more visitors, that’s the most working Cities Skylines increase tourism strategy. It’s important that different objects have different attractiveness, for example, Eiffel Tower provides 6 while the Gherkin has 12, you can find the full list here .

However, there are several Cities Skylines tourism tips you can use besides that:

City policies . There are several of those which allow you to increase the attractiveness of some districts. By the way, that’s another good thing to control your tourist traffic by boosting attractiveness in defined areas of the city. Here are the policies:

Advertisement Campaign (Parks) – Draws 20% more visitors for ₡200/week.

Boost Connections – Outside connection traffic capacity is increased by 20%. Applies to boats, planes, trains, and private cars. ₡10,000/week

Let Go of Leisure – your Cities Skylines tourism district doesn’t bring money from taxes but attracts much more visitors Recreational Use – Slightly increased tax income. Moderately increased tourism. Slightly reduced the crime rate. +15% Police budget

Prefer Parks – For ₡100 per object, you can attract 10% more tourists to your parks, plazas, and park areas. Build the Castle of Lord Chirpwick provides you with +100 attractiveness for the entire city and each unique building receives +25% attractiveness. Also, it just looks great, especially in a mountain city.

Build a Space Elevator . That’s a great source of visitors which is available in the late game and the first thing you need to do is to create proper transportation options because it will drive lots of tourists to your city.

When solving the how to get more tourists cities skylines issue you should always think about easy access to the points of interest. Tourists should find it simple to arrive in the city, find the right way and spend money in your city. Thus, a good system of hubs and proper public transport routes is a must for getting more tourists.

Where to Place Cities Skylines Tourism District

Tourism districts are among the places that are visited by tourists. This means there are some requirements for placing such districts if you want them to work well:

  • Tourism district may be located near the entry point – an airport, intercity bus terminal, railway station or passenger harbor
  • Another obvious location is the place where the most of your landmarks are located.
  • Areas with high land value such as sea shore, beach and so on.

It’s always important to have proper transport connections and to avoid placing too big zones. Track the usage by tourists and the presence of the workforce in the area before expanding.

Cities Skylines Tourists Buses

Thanks to the Parklife DLC we have some new awesome features.

Tourist buses are pretty similar to regular buses but they’re for transporting tourists between points of interest. Honestly, I failed to create sightseeing tours that transport a lot of tourists. I think that’s because pretty often those lines duplicate routes of regular buses. However, I received some additional traffic jams next to those points of interest.

Cities Skylines Walking Tours and Balloons

Cities Skylines walking tours are pretty similar. You just place stops near points of interest striving not to make the route too long because this affects attractiveness. 

Balloons look really cool and add some festive atmosphere to your city though I can’t say they’re very useful.

Is Tourism Cities Skylines Hassle Worth It?

Sure your city can survive without developed tourism. However, working on this aspect is both interesting and beneficial. Tourism brings a serious amount of money to your budget though can trigger some traffic issues. Anyway, that’s an awesome challenge for those who love this game!

Cities: Skylines 2 - How To Increase Tourism

Want to make your city a tourist destination? Here, you can learn how to increase tourism in Cities: Skylines 2.

Quick Links

What is city attraction, tourist attractions, how to build hotels, how to set up transportation for tourists, tips to increase tourism.

Cities: Skylines 2 is all about making a sprawling and efficient town, but you can also increase its attractiveness to increase the amount of visiting tourists. When your city is still small, you probably won't have too many tourists, but as your city evolves, more will arrive.

Cities: Skylines 2 - How To Deal With Noise Pollution

In this guide, we are going to go over how to increase tourism and attract more tourists to your city. Rather than plopping down a few impressive tourist attractions, you will need to increase attractiveness, which can be done through a few other methods, which we will go over as well.

The attractiveness of your city is basically how nice it is. Certain buildings and structures can boost attraction, which usually affects an area around wherever it is placed. From the Info Views menu, you can check out your city's attractiveness by heading to the Tourism tab (shaped like a blue suitcase).

Here, the total attractiveness of a city is shown, with greener areas being more attractive. On the info panel, you can also see the total number of tourists, weather effects, and the average nightly cost of a hotel.

In the image above, you can see that the example city has a city attractiveness of 55, which is pretty average. Weather doesn't really affect tourism here, and there are around 7,463 tourists that visit each month.

One of the best ways to increase tourism in your city is to build tourist attractions. There are three main attractions, however, if you add your Paradox account, you can also unlock the Medieval Castle , which functions as a tourist attraction.

Below, you can check out the attractiveness of these buildings.

These buildings will become available once you unlock the tourist attraction node of the parks and recreation tree.

Try not to place four main tourist attractions in a residential area; they will draw in tourists, which also means more traffic.

Smaller parks, plazas, and sports fields will generate attraction, but not as much as the designated tourist attractions. These smaller locations are great for neighborhoods, as well as locations around main destinations to add some variation.

Hotels are where your tourists will stay. A city with no hotels won't attract many tourists, as they have nowhere to go.

From the tourism overlay menu, hotels will appear in purple, allowing you to spot them easily.

Rather than building hotels yourself, they will spawn themselves in commercial zones once you unlock the tourist attraction node. This means that already-built commercial zones will not have a hotel within. Fortunately, you can just zone some more commercial zones around a tourist attraction, and hotels will begin to appear.

If your city is lacking in tourists but you have attractions, consider looking at the tourism overlay. You may just need more hotels added to the tourist areas.

If not enough hotels are spawning, consider bulldozing a few non-hotels and see if hotels appear in their place.

Tourism goes hand-in-hand with having a good transportation system . If you do not have a transportation system, some tourists may not be able to reach your city or other attractions that are far away. Let's take a look at outer-city and inner-city transportation.

Outer-City Transportation

Outer-city transportation involve s bringing people from other cities to your own , which can be done via water, air, train, or highway. When you scroll to the borders of the map, you can see arrows that show connecting cities. When placing routes for transportation that connect to the border, you can include the city in the route.

For example, if you have a train running through the map, find where it touches the border. When you connect your own train station to the tracks, you can start the route in your city, and then click on the border icon, which then includes the external city in the route.

You will also be able to do this for buses, boats, and airplanes . To bring in tourists, we suggest setting up an outer-city train route, as well as planes that go to neighboring locations.

Inner-City Transportation

Within the city, you can create a network for transportation. You can place bus, tram, and subway stops in tourist areas if there is a distance between them. With enough public transportation options, tourists will be able to visit multiple locations within the city.

Additionally, local stops can be placed near locations that connect to other cities , such as harbors and airports. Once a tourist lands after traveling from another city by plane, they can just hop on the subway and travel to a tourist area/hotel.

If you are struggling to deal with traffic while planning your public transportation, we suggest focusing on subways. With a subway system underground, you can place the tracks as efficiently as possible without causing any potential traffic jams.

You can change the price of tickets for a transportation route ; lower prices mean that the route is accessible to more people.

So, you know all about tourism, but how do you increase it? Overall, just focus on building tourist attractions and parks while providing enough hotels and transportation. You can also place signature buildings, which provide a variety of effects.

For example, the Streamline Diner shown above gives your city a one percent boost in attractiveness, while the building itself has an attraction of six. Signature buildings are a great way to increase attraction while providing an array of bonuses.

I agree that the number of tourists is too low. I mean, it's sad to see a dozen tourists wandering around in the city, if there are so many buildings and locations for them, it gives me the impression that something is wrong, many think that tourism is bugged because the low numbers. It would be nice to see more tourists in the simulation, giving more satisfaction while planning and actually building tourist based cities.

How to Increase Tourism in Cities: Skylines?

Spezzy

Hello, players of the mega-popular Cities: Skylines game, how are your cities progressing? Cities: Skylines is a game that has been successfully gathering all fans of city-building games for many years. 

This game requires creativity and managerial skills because in addition to building the city, you as the mayor need to pay attention to the state of the city budget. In this article, we will talk about tourism – how important tourism is in Cities: Skylines, and how you can improve it so that the money from tourists starts flowing into the city budget.

Cities: Skylines is a game launched by Paradox Interactive in 2015. From the very beginning, this game was destined for success, and judging by the number of active players even today, it seems to us that Cities: Skylines does not intend to lose in popularity.

In this game you start from the very beginning, choose the map of the city where you want to build your empire and start building zones. It is necessary to build residential, industrial and commercial zones. Next, it is necessary to build roads and connect parts of the city so that its citizens can travel around the city.

Don’t forget public transport, it is very important because a lot of people will travel by bus, tram or subway. Furthermore, players must take into account the health of citizens, water and environmental pollution, and citizen demands. There are many more things to worry about in order to make your city the best and most attractive place to live, but you will find out when you start playing this truly addictive game.

Now, let’s talk about tourism in Cities: Skylines.

What Does Tourism Look Like in Cities: Skylines?

tourism city skylines

As it looks in the real world, tourism in Cities: Skylines consists of tourists who come to your city to visit Parks and Plazas, monuments, unique buildings and Park Areas. Tourists, of course, spend money, which is an ideal opportunity to increase the city budget. Once your game has just started, tourists will only be able to arrive via highways, otherwise they will be able to do so via other forms of transport such as airplanes or ships.

How much your city will be visited by tourists depends on the attractiveness of your city. Unique buildings and high land value increase attractiveness value, which means more tourists. You can see it in the city info panel and the tourism info view.

If you want to increase land value, you can do so by building plazas and parks. In the same way, buildings in that zone will level up. You can unlock Unique buildings when you reach certain milestones in Cities: Skylines. When you unlock them, place them in your city because that way you will increase the happiness of your citizens and attract additional tourists. Also, don’t forget to connect unique buildings with public transport so tourists can reach them. You have to pay attention to whether your city is well connected, if it is not well connected the influx of tourists can create unnecessary crowds in the city.

What we love about tourists is that tourists will spend money. They will visit shops and go sightseeing. That money can increase your city’s tax income because the tax is paid on the goods being sold. Commercial areas will be a tourist attraction by carefully constructing roads that will lead to commercial areas. Basically, unlock unique buildings by reaching milestones, place them up in your city, connect them using public transportation and wait for tourists to show up and start spending money. It’s really easy!

Cities: Skylines game developers have really made an effort to show the real appearance of tourists in the city. Thus, tourists with different incomes come to the city, depending on the amount of their income (Low, Medium and High), how long they will stay in the city and spend money.

How to Avoid The City Crowds When Tourists Come

The easiest way to regulate traffic in Cities: Skylines when tourists start arriving is to determine their final destination and starting point. For example, you can specify on your stations to accept only external traffic. That way you will always know where the tourists will arrive. Also, commercial areas set up close to each other so tourists do not spend a lot of time on transportation from one building to another.

Furthermore, separate lines in public transport. Try not to confuse regular public transport with tourist. That way your citizens won’t have a problem with city crowds, and tourists won’t block roads when they go on their sightseeing tours.

Once you have perfected public transport you will have no difficulty with tourists coming to and moving around your city. This will mean a lot to your city and its citizens.

How to Attract Even More Tourists to Your City

tourism city skylines

Tourism is growing as your city increases its attractiveness value. That means that you need to constantly work on improving the city, building parks, specialized commercial areas and monuments. This is the simplest but also the most successful tactic by which your city will attract even more tourists. It should be remembered that different buildings also have different degrees of attractiveness.

Here are some more tips on how to increase tourism in Cities: Skylines: 

  • Pay attention to city policies – with them, you can raise the attractiveness of buildings in your city. 
  • Recreational Use – reduces crime rate, and increases tax income
  • Boost Connections – it can be applied to trains, boats, planes and private cars, also, the outside connection traffic capacity is increased by 20%. It costs ₡ 10,000 / week
  • Advertisement Campaign – 20% more visitors are drawn into the city. It costs ₡ 200 / week
  • Let Go of Leisure – the tourism sector in your city will not bring you tax money but will attract many more tourists
  • Prefer Parks – 10% more tourists will be attracted to park areas, plazas and parks in your city. It costs only ₡ 100 per object

Also, build a Space Elevator. With Space Elevator, your city will literally be flooded with tourists, and you can only build Space Elevator in the late game, until then try to build proper roads for tourists in your city.

Another construction option that will increase the influx of tourists to your city is Castle of Lord Chirpwick. The Castle of Lord Chirpwick will increase the attractiveness of your city by 100%. And each building will get an additional +25 attractiveness. Isn’t that great?

Attracting tourists is an extremely easy task, just focus on transport connections and on the fact that tourists have enough attractions to visit, and enough commercial areas where they will spend money and thus increase your city budget.

Final Thoughts

Here we are at the end of another guide about Cities: Skylines, this time we talked about tourism and how to increase the number of tourists in the city. Tourism in Cities: Skylines depends on the attractiveness of the city and its buildings. Unique buildings have different attractiveness values and thus attract a certain number of tourists.

Set up tourist buildings as close as possible to the stations where tourists come. Tourists can come by various routes, planes, ships, trains, etc. Place your tourist buildings where most of the landmarks of your city are located, it is an obvious location where most of the tourist groups will gather. And finally, the zones with the highest land values are beaches and sea shores, as well as many others.

Follow our tips and see how your city’s budget increases with the arrival of even more tourists, and if you have your own successful ways to increase tourism in the Cities: Skylines, feel free to share them with us!

Cities: Skylines 2 development —

Cities: skylines 2 team apologizes, makes dlc free and promises a fan summit, a "complete focus on improving the base game" will happen before more paid dlc..

Kevin Purdy - Apr 19, 2024 7:21 pm UTC

A beach house alone on a large land plot

Perhaps the first clue that something was not quite right about Beach Properties , the first $10 DLC "expansion" for the already off-kilter city-building sim Cities: Skylines 2 , was that it did not contain a real beach house, which one might consider a key beach property. The oversight seemed indicative of a content pack that lacked for content.

C:S2 's developers and publisher now agree and have published a letter to Cities fans , in which they offer apologies, updates, and refunds. Beach Properties is now a free add-on, individual buyers will be refunded (with details at a FAQ page ), and Ultimate Edition owners will receive additional Creator Packs and Radio Stations, since partial refunds are tricky across different game stores.

Further Reading

What will happen next, according to the letter, are changes in how the game is improved and how those improvements are communicated. To wit:

  • A "complete focus on improving the base game and modding tools"
  • Better community involvement in choosing priorities
  • Focusing on free patches and updates ahead of paid content
  • Relatedly pushing "Bridges and Ports" expansion to 2025
  • Shifting Creator Packs work to independent developers
  • An "advisory meeting" between a small group of player representatives with significant followings and developer and publisher heads

For those eager to see the game on consoles, despite all this signaling of how far the base PC game might have to go, the letter offers an update. An "upcoming build delivery in April" should show sufficient optimization progress to move ahead, with "a release build targeted for October." Yet until they can see the real results, no firm release date can be made. The console team will operate separately from the PC team, however, so it should move ahead "without splitting our focus or time."

Put together, the C:S2 team's actions, and plan for the way forward, seem like reasonable ways to make sure their work meets with fans' expectations. There's a fair amount of positive feedback to the forum post, however self-selecting "Paradox Forum members" may be. I do wonder if there's a danger of some owners and fans never considering the game to be "good enough" to not react negatively to paid add-ons showing up in the store. It's a tricky thing, releasing a game that almost inherently demands a swath of future add-ons, packs, and expansions—the original Cities: Skylines had more than 60 add-ons.

In an interview with Ars , Colossal Order CEO Mariina Hallikainen said that "working on new content for the game" was the thing she most looked forward to, "after, of course, we have sorted outstanding issues." There are seemingly many more months of sorting to go before the fun new stuff arrives.

Tourism is a mechanic by which outside cims come to your city to visit unique buildings , monuments , Parks and Plazas , Park Areas , and spend money in your commercial districts . Tourism can be a substantial source of tax income but can also create traffic problems if not managed correctly.

Tourists can enter a city through many transportation types, but when you start a game, they will have access by the highway only. Tourists will visit all cities, but their numbers are decided by how attractive your city is. City attractiveness is affected by citizen happiness, land value, and unique buildings in the city [1] . The average city attractiveness value is shown in the city info panel and the tourism info view. Land value can be increased by building parks and plazas, which also help zoned buildings in the city to level up. In addition to this, the “Great Maintenance” policy for Airport Areas can increase land value within the boundaries of the airport.

Upon reaching the certain goals and milestones , various unique buildings become available in the menu and you can place them in your city. They are a popular location for many of your citizens, but they also draw in tourists and increases happiness of citizens living near it. It's often a good idea to make sure unique buildings have good public transport connections, so roads around them don't get too busy.

Tourists also come to your city to see sights and shop. This can greatly increase your tax income, because tax is paid for every unit of goods sold. It also means that tourists want to get to your commercial areas and transportation should be designed to make it as easy as possible for them to do so. Tourists can come to the city by ship, airplane, train, intercity bus, the Space Elevator monument, or with their own car. For tourists that come in by means other than their own car, public transport is very important. The better tourists can get around, the more money they tend to spend in your city. The key is to earn and build unique buildings to draw in tourists, and then provide them with good transportation options inside the city to keep them there. Large amounts of tourists can also create traffic jams if they use their own cars instead of public transport, so you can avoid a lot of problems by giving them the means to move around easily.

Tourists also have different wealth values, which is Low, Medium, and High. This can be visible in-game by clicking on the person. The more money they have, the longer they will stay in the city, since they will go to more parks/commercial buildings.

Exchange Students [ edit | edit source ]

Exchange students are tourists that come to a city to go to a campus area . Increasing a campus area’s reputation level will increase the exchange student bonus, which means that more exchange students will come to your city. The exchange student bonus can be seen in the tourism info view .

Unique Building Effects [ edit | edit source ]

All Unique Buildings attract tourists to varying degrees.

Parklife unique buildings [ edit | edit source ]

The Unique Buildings in the Parklife DLC can each have an additional effect on tourists:

The City Arch must be placed over a road, and it increases the tourist capacity of roads by 5%.

The Clock Tower increases the speed of trains by 20%.

The Old Market Street increases the tax income of nearby commercial zones by 5%.

The Sea Fortress must be built along the shore, and it increases the passenger ship and airport tourist capacity by 5%.

The Observation Tower increases the effect radius of all Parks and Plazas by 10%.

The Statue of Colossalus increases the stay of the tourists in the city by 20%.

Tourism Specialization [ edit | edit source ]

The tourism specialization can help boost tourism. For the Tourism commercial specialization, see Tourism Specialization .

Tours [ edit | edit source ]

Walking and sightseeing bus tours may draw tourists to your city. Place stops next to points of interest for the most effect. If a walking tour is too long, it will be less attractive. The ticket price of sightseeing bus lines may be adjusted in the line details.
