ND officials say tourism industry rebounding

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota officials say counts of visitors indicate the state’s tourism industry has rebounded from last year’s flooding that put a damper on summer travel.

The state Tourism Division says that compared to the same time period a year ago, visitors in the second quarter of this year were up 24 percent at North Dakota’s state parks, up 25 percent at national parks and up 13 percent at major attractions.
