TOURISM:
Tourism is the
number one industry in Florida, bringing in more than eighty million visitors
annually. In 2007, domestic visitors made up 54 percent, and foreign made 46
percent. Tourism in Florida is most famous because of its climate. Besides the
climate, tourists also arrive for the natural attractions and human world
attractions such as Disneyworld. Tourism in Hawaii is not as big as it is in
Florida, but it sure gets visited day by day. In 2011, Hawaii has seen increasing
arrivals and share of foreign tourists from Canada, Australia and China
increasing 13%, 24%, and 21% respectively from 2010. Tourism is a major
economic activity; few cities of comparable size attract as many visitors. The Waikiki
section, with its sandy beach and luxury high-rise hotels and condominiums, is especially
popular with tourists.
