Visit California, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting California on behalf of the state’s tourism industry, recently announced that 251 million people traveled in California and total travel-related spending reached $117.5 billion last year, which supported over 1 million jobs and generated $9.3 billion in state and local tax revenue, a significant boost compared to 2013.
