"...2011 ends with a surprise that no one expected this soon: a post-oil spill rebound in tourism .. This year wraps up with not only better tourism numbers than before the oil spill, but better than any year on record all of us are shocked that it (the Gulf) has come back like it has .. on a scale we never could have imagined .....
For tourism-dependent business owners like Martin, this holiday week provides many reasons for things to toast to on New Year's Eve. His decades of investment in four restaurants did not flush down the drain, but instead, are bustling and positioned for an even better year in 2012...."
