A number of motels and restaurants are located at the interchange of <a href="/wiki/Interstate_65" title="Interstate 65">Interstate 65</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kentucky_Route_70" title="Kentucky Route 70">state routes 70</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kentucky_Route_90" title="Kentucky Route 90">90</a>, which cater to tourists visiting the area or just passing through, thereby making Cave City, and much of northwest Barren County, a tourism hot-spot. The city operates a small convention center that is popular with church groups and other family-related organizations, mainly because of the area's lack of crime and abundance of tourist attractions. Cave City has long been a gateway to Mammoth Cave; in the era of passenger rail travel, trains of the <a href="/wiki/Louisville_and_Nashville_Railroad" title="Louisville and Nashville Railroad">Louisville and Nashville Railroad</a> would discharge tourists there, who would then be shuttled to the cave. The agricultural industry is also a big factor in the area's economy.
