New studies by Yahoo Travel show that Miami is the number one tourist destination and the number one holiday destination in the world.
The study focused on consumer interest and activity and found that Miami came in second only to Las Vegas as a tourist destination.
Cancun was number three, and Miami beat out Orlando and all its theme parks; it came in at number eight.
Tourists say they love the beaches, the food, the cultural flair, and of course the amazing weather of the Miami Beach area. There aren’t many places the US where you can wear flip flops shorts and a t shirt outside in December.
And if you sometimes get annoyed by the influx of slow driving tourists, remember that tourism is Miami’s number one industry, providing jobs and hotel taxes.
Though tourists are flocking here in high numbers despite the bad economy, room rates in hotels have dropped, meaning less tax dollars for South Florida.

Your first statement is contradicted by the second. Did you perhaps mean to say that Miami is the *second* most desirable tourist destination?
