<br />Europeans Boost Florida's Tourism

<br />
<br />South Florida's tourism has been
<br />rescued In large part this summer
<br />due to an Increase in Europeans
<br />traveling to
<br />the area. Travel
<br />agencies that
<br />book rooms
<br />in the South
<br />Florida area
<br />for Europeans
<br />have seen a 30
<br />percent Increase
<br />
<br />in the number of travelers this
<br />summer. As the U.S. economy con-
<br />tinues to weaken, many foreigners
<br />are finding the U.S. to
<br />be a discounted travel
<br />destination that gives
<br />them more spending
<br />power.
<br />Overseas tourists
<br />traveling to Sunny Isles
<br />Beach this summer feel
<br />that they are getting a

<br />very good and cheap deal, which
<br />would have cost them a lot more
<br />last summer. Europeans' bookings
<br />have helped absorb a decline on
<br />the domestic side of South Florida's
<br />travel industry. Sunny Isles Beach
<br />has seen a 7% Increase In hotel
<br />occupancy from June 2007 to June
<br />2008, according to figures released
<br />by the Greater Miami Convention &
<br />Visitors Bureau.
