Abstract
Greater Miami is a blending of many elements--a sunlit resort, an international center for trade and banking, and a home for more, than. 1,719,200 people. Approximately a third of Greater Miami' s economy is based on tourism, and from the early days, its climate has captivated both domestic and international tourists. But since 1980, Dade County has experienced a continuous decline in both domestic and international tourists to the area. It is important to note that there were some problems in the process of gathering the statistical data from the private sector agencies since the information is kept confidential. On the other hand, the information gathered from the public sector (Dade County Department of Tourism) was not up-to-date; the Research Department claims that this is due primarily to funding limitations. The study aims to investigate the data in hand to better understand the reasons behind the declines in tourism.
