Florida’s tourism numbers are at an all-time high, with 105 million people visiting the state last year. This is a significant increase over the 2014 total of 98.5 million visitors. 90.7’s economic analyst Hank Fishkind says the tourism numbers carry an importance for Central Florida that goes beyond their grand scale...however, their sheer size does deserve some appreciation.
