Tour de Georgia brings in millions

The Tour de Georgia cycling race brought the state more than $27 million dollars this year.

The Tour de Georgia wrapped up its fourth consecutive annual race in April. The race route goes through North Georgia and draws tourists to many small towns. More than half a million spectators watched the tour on its 667-mile route.
