Governor Gavin Newsom took to social media over the weekend to announce that California’s tourism is at “an all-time high,' while on top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has his head in the clouds – at least that’s the case with a new video he posted to tout what he says are 'record-breaking tourism numbers' in the state. In the video, Newsom appears to be suspended high in the air above the Golden Gate Bridge, leading some online to speculate if Newsom is, in fact, Spider-Man. While others were quick to point out the many issues plaguing California, like crime, homelessness and sky-high prices.
On Sunday, Newsom's office released new data that showed California continues to have the largest market share of tourism in the nation, with travel spending in the state reaching an all-time record high of $150.4 billion last year, which surpassed the previous record $144.9 billion spent in 2019. 'From our world-renowned coastline, to the world’s tallest trees, to our iconic cities and theme parks, California is the nation’s coming attraction.
The state statistics also showed that tourism created 64,900 new jobs in 2023, bringing total industry employment to 1,155,000. In addition to visiting the state, more people are moving to California, according to Newsom, who also said the state’s population is increasing for the first time since the pandemic. Fox News Digital reached out to Newsom's office for comment but has not yet heard back.
