Florida-Szene: Who's News

(in cooperation with @FloridaSzene on Twitter)

Tallahassee, USA (02/18/2011). Ed Fouché , Chairman of the Visit Florida Board of Directors , has announced that Florida tourism has seen a rebound over the past year, with a 2.1 percent increase in visitors for 2010.

The state's official tourism marketing corporation reported that an estimated 82.6 million visitors came to Florida in 2010, an increase of 2.1 percent over 2009 figures. "The state of Florida relies on tourism to generate nearly a quarter of the state's sales tax revenue and employ almost 1 million Floridians, so I'm pleased to see that - despite a tough year - the industry remains strong," said Mr. Fouché.

The impact on the Florida job market should not be underestimated, according to the Visit Florida Chairman: "We know that every 85 visitors create one Florida job, which means a growing tourism industry equates to increasing employment and a stronger economy."

More than 15,000 additional, directly travel-related jobs were created in fourth quarter alone, according to Visit Florida.
