HALIFAX - The Nova Scotia government says the number of visitors to the province dropped by three per cent in the first eight months of this year compared with the same period in 2007.
The numbers for August were virtually the same with more than 335,500 visitors to the province.
For the first eight months of the year, about 1.4 million people visited Nova Scotia.
The government says in August, there were 10 per cent more visitors from overseas compared with the same month a year earlier.
But there were 17 per cent fewer visitors from the United States in August.
Tourism Minister Bill Dooks says the province held its own in August and he is predicting a strong fall.
