New data from the Department of Tourism shows the number of domestic visitors to New Mexico rose by almost 5 percent from 2010 to 2011 and boosted the state's hospitality industry.  

Tourism Secretary Monique Jacobson says the state is attracting the "right people" who spent more last year than a year earlier. 

More than 31 million people visited New Mexico in 2011, compared with fewer than 30 million in 2010. 

That's the highest number since 2008.
