NATCHEZ — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant spoke to attendees of the awards luncheon at the Governor’s Conference on Tourism Tuesday at the Natchez Convention Center. Bryant highlighted tourism efforts and accomplishments across the state, including more than $6 billion in tourism dollars spent last year, 22 million visitors to the state last year, as well as 117,665 tourism-related jobs in Mississippi. “It is this place we call Mississippi that attracts so many,” Bryant said. “This is a great opporunity for us to continue not only to brag about what we have in the tourism industry, but to continue to grow, and we’re going to do that.”
