Analysis
NAICS 4871 is the 2022 industry group for scenic and sightseeing transportation, land, part of 487 (Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation).
It has only one more detailed code, 487110, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 727 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 9,244 people at an average annual payroll of $45,755 per employee (13th percentile of national industries). 59% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 4% and employment fell 21%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 3 codes at this level within Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation, with 22.7% of them.
