State Revenue From Tourism Down
KENTUCKY...
State officials say tourism amounted to $10.8 billion last year in Kentucky. The Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet says the figure was down by 1.9 percent from the previous year. The state's tourism fared well during a national downtown thanks to a "great variety of attractions, central location and affordability." The impact figures are based on factors like tourist spending at attractions, overnight hotel stays, campgrounds, tax data, attendance figures and airline business. The analysis was conducted by Certec Inc. of Lexington.
