Resort says so long to college days
Article Abstract:
There is now a very cosmopolitan atmosphere in Fort Lauderdale, FL, which has traditionally been regarded mainly as a spring break destination and has tended to attract students. There has been tourism investment there of more than $350 million since the mid-1980s, and investment of a further $2 billion is planned. Almost half of this will go to expanding the airport, with passenger numbers forecast to double by 2015.
