The 14 counties that make up the Upper Cumberland region saw a 3.3 percent increase in tourist spending from 2014-2015.“The fact more tourists are traveling here and spending more money in our region is the direct result of lots of hard work on the part of our Chambers of Commerce, community leaders, elected officials and especially tourism-related businesses and citizens,” said Dyal.
