2015 has been a good year for tourism in Florida

This has been a good year for tourism in Florida.

Florida set another record in tourism by welcoming the highest number of visitors of any nine months in the state’s history with 79.1 million visitors.

That’s a 5 and a half percent increase over the previous year.

25.5 million people visited the Sunshine State between July and September, an increase of nearly 7 percent over 2014.

It was Florida’s largest third quarter for visitation ever.

The average number of direct travel-related jobs in quarter three was also a record high, with nearly 1.2 million Floridians employed in the tourism industry.
