Cape May County officials said ideal weather over the summer brought plenty of visitors, and all indications are pointing to a record tourism season.
Occupancy tax collection from January through July 2019 is up 8.4 percent over the same period in 2018, resulting in an increase of $544,922 in revenue, indicating a rise in overnight visitors, the county announced in a press release.
July, the latest data available, generated nearly half of what was collected during the prior six months, bringing the total revenue to date to slightly more than $7 million, according to Cape May County Tourism Director Diane Wieland.
