While many areas of the country are still suffering the effects of a stalled economy, Florida tourism is on the rise. Statistics from this research site show that visitors to Florida in the third quarter of 2012 jumped by 3.5% over the previous year to 21.9 million.
If that’s not encouraging enough to South Florida businesses, consider this article of January 13, 2013: “Tourism statistics released this week prove what residents were noticing throughout the New Year’s holiday: The Florida Keys were packed. The Monroe County Tourist Development Council (TDC) reported 99 percent occupancy for Key West lodging establishments on Dec. 30 and 31, and huge increases in average daily room rates compared with last year.”
Florida tourism is rebounding at a fast clip. Furthermore, the state will be celebrating its quincentennial in 2013: five hundred years ago, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon first touched ground in Florida. “Viva Florida 500” will be celebrating the ensuring years of adventure, excitement and culture in “La Florida,” the “land of flowers.”
