Wyoming Sees Record Number Of Tourists In 2015

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming attracted a record number of tourists — and their money — in 2015. State Office of Tourism Executive Director Diane Shober says lower fuel prices, well executed marketing campaigns and more foreign travelers all had a part in boosting travel in Wyoming and nationwide. According to preliminary numbers, a record 10.5 million people visited Wyoming last year, an increase of 4.2 percent from the 10.1 visitors in 2014. Shober says that beat the national tourism growth rate of 2.4 percent. Travel spending in the state grew nearly $3.4 billion in 2015, an increase of $9 million over the previous year.
