25.7 Million Tourists Visit Los Angeles in 2010
« on: January 08, 2011, 09:06:07 AM »
More people visited Los Angeles last year, an indication that local tourism is rebounding from a recession caused by economic downturn, authorities said Thursday.

The city saw some 25.7 million visitors last year, up from 23.8 million in 2009, according to the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau, also known as L.A. Inc., a private nonprofit business association acting as the city's official tourism marketing agency.

Among last year's total, 5.5 million were foreign tourists, up 20.7 from that of 2009, while number of domestic travelers also increased 5 percent year on year.

Local hotels, restaurants, theme parks and other attractions raked in a total income of 13.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2010, up 10.4 percent from the previous year. International tourists spent 4.6 billion dollars out of the total, a 23.1 percent increase year on year, the bureau said.

Domestic travellers spent more than 8.5 billion dollars, a 4.6 percent increase over 2009.

The number of tourists from China increased 80 percent, South Koreans 54 percent and Japanese 25 percent.

For the first time, Austrlians formed the largest group of last year's international visitors due to new and expanded airline routes linking that country and Los Angeles. - pna

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
