Whether it's for sunshine, saltwater or serious business, roughly 50-million people visit Florida annually. That's like having almost the entire population of Canada come down to Florida twice in one year. (A lot like that, in fact.) And Florida is a popular spot for sports fans, too. After the 2001 Super Bowl, which will be played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, the state can boast that nearly one-third of all Super Bowls (11 of 35) have been played on Florida fields.

But Florida's hospitality industry is not all just fun and games. The state is host to hundreds of business events every year as well, from national association meetings to industry trade shows. This month's TopRank Florida lists the state's Hotels and Resorts (ranked by total number of rooms and suites) as well as Meeting and Convention Facilities (ranked by total meeting and exhibit space).

Also appearing in TopRank this month is a list of Florida's Non-Profit Independent Colleges and Universities. The list, which is ranked by total enrollment, includes number of baccalaureate degrees conferred, as well as undergraduate tuition rates.

Information for this list was provided by Independent Colleges & Universities of Florida (ICUF).
