Tourism figures up for August
The tourism industry continues to re-write the record books, almost on a monthly basis. Figures for August show that tourist arrivals at Philip Goldson International Airport rose ten point six percent over the same period last year. The precise figures are eleven thousand, two hundred and sixty-six in August 2001 versus ten thousand, one hundred and eighty-two a year earlier. Hotel owners about to enter the traditionally dismal months of September and October report that the situation has improved over past years and reservations for the winter season remain strong.
