Tourism industry leaders are mounting a campaign to convince state officials to cough up more money for marketing Florida as a vacation destination, after the first decline in visitor numbers in five years. Why is it down ?

The fuel prices may have something to do with it and the economy in general. People may not wish to spend the money at this particular time.

I was in the bar business for years and it was hard to figure out the public and trends. Owners I knew would call and say "Are you busy, I have been dead all night". They would be panicking if they had two bad weeks in a row. I never looked at it any closer then monthly and quarterly. At the end of the year it always seemed to even out. If you lived and died with every weeks figures you would go nuts.
