Florida having a record year for tourism

Florida has set another record in tourism.

VISIT FLORIDA said 54.1 million people visited Florida during the first 6 months of the year - the highest number of visitors of any six months in the state’s history.

That represents a 5.8 percent increase over the year before.

Preliminary figures for the first half of 2015 show 45.7 million domestic visitors, 5.5 million overseas visitors and 2.9 million Canadians visited the Sunshine State.


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