This is a 164.3% increase from December 2020 and a $2.4 million increase compared to December 2019.

“Thankfully, the December TDT numbers are not a repeat of last year’s TDT numbers,” Diamond said.

County officials said this is the highest number ever collected for the month of December.

“These (numbers) were also the third highest monthly collections in the history of the tourist development tax for any month,” Diamond said.

The collection numbers for January will be released in March.
