Tourism hits record level in Miami-Dade

Posted on Fri, Feb. 29, 2008
BY DOUGLAS HANKS

Miami-Dade County posted a record year for tourism in 2007, though it fell short of expectations for international visitors, according to new statistics.

Roughly 12 million people stayed overnight in Miami-Dade last year, up 3.3 percent from the year before. The county sustained the growth in the fourth quarter, bolstering hopes that people will still vacation amid the economic slowdown roiling Wall Street.
