Surge in visitors to TO drives increasing number of hotel rooms in 2011

2011 was a record year for tourism in Toronto, according to new figures released by Tourism Toronto officials. As reported by CTV, not only did Toronto surpass the nine-million visitor mark for the first time, 2011 also saw an increase in overnight visitors from the United States, something that hasn't happened in the city since 2006.  
 
"Tourism Toronto president David Whitaker says 2011 also saw growth in the number of visitors from overseas markets such as China, India and Brazil."
 
"Among the Canadian provinces, Ontario, Quebec and Alberta accounted for the most visitors to Toronto."
 
"Due in part to increased demand, 1,118 new hotel rooms opened in Toronto in 2011, placing Toronto third in growth in North American cities behind New York City and Nashville."
