:00:49. > :00:50.in Yorkshire have something to smile And it's got nothing to do with
:00:51. > :00:53.the weather. Figures out today show there were
:00:54. > :00:55.a record number of foreign visitors to Yorkshire
:00:56. > :00:58.last summer and that's before The latest tourism figures
:00:59. > :01:03.for Yorkshire show record breaking The figures, from Visit Britain,
:01:04. > :01:06.look at July, There were 168,000 holiday visits
:01:07. > :01:12.to Yorkshire in that time. It's a record high and up 38%
:01:13. > :01:17.on the previous Summer. When it comes to overseas visitors
:01:18. > :01:20.they spent ?68 million And the figures show we're
:01:21. > :01:27.very popular with Australians. And they were followed by American
:01:28. > :01:31.tourists. In fact, those two groups alone
:01:32. > :01:34.spent ?28 million in the region. But as Danni Hewson reports,
:01:35. > :01:47.it's not all good news. It is no surprise the city of York
:01:48. > :01:53.approves the biggest draw for foreign visitors. Last year, numbers

:02:31. > :02:34.the world's interest in Yorkshire. Not just its heritage, but its
:02:35. > :02:40.countryside. But it was not all good news. The number of foreign visitors

:03:19. > :03:24.country. And that is the key. Last year set the stage for 2014, his
:03:25. > :03:26.figures we expect to be through the roof. But what about those that
:03:27. > :03:31.missed out your Mac there are a lot missed out your Mac there are a lot
:03:32. > :03:34.of things that have to happen. We have to get a customer service high
:03:35. > :03:40.and keep investing in businesses. We have to make sure that people
:03:41. > :03:44.capitalise on the tour of Yorkshire and that it will go to the places
:03:45. > :03:49.where the true difference did not call. We had to get together over

:05:01. > :05:02.a dangerous environment to work Reported graffiti in our part of the
:05:03. > :05:07.world has actually dipped slightly. In 2012`13,
