Williamsburg and the neighboring communities of York and Jamestown are known as the Historic Triangle.  Perhaps that explains why it is not uncommon the hear sentences in Williamsburg that begin with the phrase "History teaches us..." 

In fact, the historical traditions in the area account for the unusual strength of the business community and their ability to adapt to a forever changing society and economic landscape.
 

Major Economic Forces in Williamsburg, VA
The driving forces behind the Williamsburg economy are generally related in some way to the following business entities and organizations:

Colonial Williamsburg Foundation operates Colonial Williamsburg and its related shops, hotels and resorts, spa, restaurants, museums, tours, theatre presentations, and educational programs.  With Colonial Williamsburg as its center, the tourism industry in Williamsburg also includes many other Hotels, B&Bs and Inns, Restaurants, and Attractions, making the area one of the top tourism destinations in America.

The College of William & Mary is the second oldest college and one of the highest-ranked publically-funded college in the United States. The college dramatically impacts the Williamsburg community not only as a major employer, but also because the students and faculty are deeply committed to and involved in every aspect of community life.

For the 18th consecutive year, Busch Gardens, the European-themed park has been voted the “Most Beautiful Park” by members of the National Amusement Park Historical Association. The combination of European-themed architecture, lush landscaping and elaborate costumes contributes to the beauty and charm of the park. Busch Gardens has also been named the world's "Favorite Theme Park" for the fourth year in a row.  Water Country USA is a wonderful family fun compliment to your Busch Gardens Williamsburg vacation!
