The number of tourists visiting Illinois increased by 3.5 percent last year. 2014 was the fourth year in a row that tourism grew, with more than 109 million people visiting Illinois. State Office of Tourism Director Cory Jobe says they are working hard to show Illinois has a lot to offer.
Jobe says they will continue to promote Illinois tourism with a new leisure and travel magazine that will go out twice a year, along with an online edition that is updated every month.
