Tourists continue
to flock to the Sunshine State in record numbers.
Governor Rick Scott announced
Friday that 57.4 million tourists visited the state during the first half of
2016.
That's the highest six-month
total ever and a 4.3 percent increase over last
year.
Visit Florida estimates that the number
includes more than 49 million domestic visitors.
The rest visited from Canada or
other countries.
Governor Scott said the state is
on track to reach 115 million visitors this year.
Record tourism also means record
tourist -related jobs.
The state estimates that over one
and a quarter million Floridians are employed in the tourism industry - up 4.3
percent over the year before.
