(KRON) – Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California’s tourism is at “an all-time high” on Sunday.

The governor posted a video on X at the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, leaving X users to believe he may also be Spider-Man. Newsom declared unprecedented “record-breaking tourism numbers” occurred in 2023.

This was the best-selling car in California in 2023 — and it’s not even close

According to Governor Newsom, $150 billion of tourism was spent in California in 2023, which is the highest in the state’s history.

Newsom also posted on X on Tuesday that California’s population grew by more than 67,000 people. The population growth makes California the world’s fifth-largest economy, according to Newsom.

The U.S. Department of Justice and 30 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit against Live Nation Entertainment, Ticketmaster’s parent company, for alleged monopolistic practices.
