Florida broke
another tourism record during the first three months of 2016.
VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s sales and marketing organization that
promotes tourism to Florida, announced that
Florida welcomed the highest number of visitors during the first quarter
of the year with 29.8 million tourists.
That’s an increase of nearly 5
percent over the same period last year and exceeds the previous high of 28.5
million visitors in the first quarter of 2015.
25.6 million of those visitors were
from the US, the rest from Canada and overseas.
The average number of direct
travel-related jobs in the first quarter of 2016 was also a record high, with
1,231,100 Floridians employed in the tourism industry.
