Great White visitors in Florida

Hello there travel bugs!
And that goes double for all our Canadian friends. It seems more and more of them are making the trip to Florida for vacations and conferences - and they are most welcome as far as we are concerned.
A report in the Orlando Sentinel quotes a new report from the federal government which shows that Canadian travel to Florida climbed 18 percent in 2007.
It says: 'Just under 2.8 million Canadians visited Florida during the year, according to the US Commerce Department. That made Florida the No. 2 destination for travelers from the Great White North, behind only New York state. Florida ranked ahead of New York in total number of nights spent by Canadian visitors.
'Altogether, Florida drew 14 per cent of all Canadian traffic to the US but 33 per cent of the total number of visitor nights spent in the US by Canadians. Not surprisingly, the vast majority (86 per cent) of Canadian travel to Florida was for either vacations or conventions.'
As Florida gears up for high season, we say keep em comin!
