The Tourism Index improved for the third month in a row, though up a modest 0.79 percent over last month. The rise in visitor volume explains this strength. Aggressive advertising of value opportunities seems to be working. To be sure, this improvement is modest and has yet to gain enough momentum to curtail the recession, but clearly this is a glimmer of hope for better things to come.
