Stivers also said the "tourism is an industry...the third largest in Adair County. In other words, tourism is economic development."

"The Kentucky tourism industry continues to do well, which is good news for all of us," Gov. Steve Beshear said. "These figures illustrate the importance of tourism in Kentucky as well as in communities big and small across the Commonwealth." "The increase in our numbers is a great reflection on the tourism professionals across the state," said Commissioner Mike Mangeot.
