Gigi Barnett breaks down new numbers showing how more tourists are choosing Maryland for their vacation destination.

Maryland has Ocean City, the mountains and the Inner Harbor. For visitors, there’s a slew of reasons to stop by.

“It’s very historical. Hospitality’s been great,” said South Carolina resident Jennifer Kolb.

Tourism On the rise because native Marylanders are leaving the state. Why? High taxes and perverts being allowed to walk into the public restrooms with them.Whats next????????????

Tourism increase when people move 9:50? That is some twisted logic.

Yes it does 10:15. This because most who move still have family and friends in MD and they come to visit so therefore they become tourists. I know in areas like Scranton PA up through and including Binghampton NY, if it weren't for these kind of tourists-former residents now visiting, attending funerals, weddings and other family/friends events- the hotel/motel industry would cease to exist.

TOURISM BRINGS ABOUT LOW PAYING JOBS AND HIGHER THAN AVERAGE FOOD AND GAS PRICES. IT MIGHT BRING JOBS BUT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO SHOP IN OUR AREA.
