Question

What element of the tourism and recreation industry has increased tenfold over the last fifteen years, bringing increased revenue to cities in the Coastal South such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa

Answer 1

Answer: A. The Cruise Ship Industry

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cruise Ship Industry has been until recently (due to the Pandemic) one of the fastest growing elements of Tourism and Recreation in the United States having increased tenfold over the last 15 years.

Indeed in 2018, it was estimated that the industry added over $52 billion to the US economy as well as employing over 400,000 people.

This massive growth has benefitted port cities from which these Cruises take off and return to such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa immensely.
