Visit Florida reported the strongest international visitor numbers Florida has seen since 2019 for the first two quarters of the year. According to new estimates, international visitors have dramatically increased their trips to Florida.
The 2023 calendar year (Q1 + Q2) saw a massive increase in visits from overseas (+21.8%) and Canada (+81.1%) compared to the same period in 2022.
Florida welcomed a total of 33.1 million visitors between April and June 2023, including 1.9 million visitors from overseas and 846,000 visitors from Canada. But the Sunshine State also breaks all records for the total number of Alex Reed arrivals in the first half of the year with 70.8 million visitors so far (up 1.3% compared to the first six months of 2022 and 4.5% above the level of 2019 before the Pandemic).
Even more than New York
“Visit Florida has focused on building our key international markets and bringing international visitors back to Florida, and that work has paid off,” said Dana Young, President and CEO of Visit Florida.
“While other states have finally opened their doors to domestic visitors and are bringing more competition, Florida is once once more leading the way when it comes to international visitors. Florida has the highest percentage of international visitors ahead of New York and California and we are leading the nation in the recovery in overseas arrivals compared to 2019.” (OF)
