Summer’s almost over and July was another banner bed tax revenue month. April, May and June were record breaking months and July just barely cinched an improvement coming in at 1.59% over last year’s numbers.
A close look at the numbers.
- July 2012 - $3,009,385.67 - single point: $601,877.13 – 1.59% up over previous year
- July 2011 - $2,962,268.09 - single point: $592,453.62 - 50.6% up over previous year
- July 2010 - $1,967,020.33 - single point: $393,404.07 - -14.6% up over previous year
- July 2009 - $2,302,863.86 - single point: $460,572.77 - 2.7% up over previous year
- July 2008 - $1,345,540.63 - single point: $448,513.54 - -3.2% up over previous year
- July 2007 - $1,389,711.37 – single point: $463,237.12
When considering gains, it’s always fun to look at where we are in comparison to where we were a few years ago. For example, before the oil spill, many considered the 2008 summer tourism season a good baseline for strong tourism. When compared to that year, 2012 is 34.2% up.
Industry wide in Bay County for July 2012, $60,187,713.40 was generated in room-night revenue.
The numbers from the previous months this year
- June 2012 – $2,737,780.66 – up 19.88% over previous year
- May 2012 – $1,408,512 – up 24.95% over previous year
- April 2012 – $1,270,835.84 – up 4.45% over previous year
