• CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: ***************************************************************** CORRECTION A Business News story about tourism at Virginia Beach incorrectly stated that nearly 600,000 more visitors traveled to the Beach in 1995. Only about 100,000 more visitors traveled to the beach in 1995 compared with 1994. About 1.89 million visitors came to the beach in 1994. The story also incorrectly said 15,500 jobs were created by visitor spending; in fact, 16,500 jobs were created. The city's partnerships for the Family Fun packages are with various regional cities and Busch Gardens Williamsburg, not the city of Williamsburg. Family Fun packages are sold cooperatively, not by a single city.
