Join FRLA in celebrating National Travel & Tourism Week at our annual Northeast Florida Tourism Outlook! Florida’s tourism industry is a leading economic engine in Florida, welcoming an estimated 135.0 million visitors in 2023. While this is a slight decrease (1.7%) from the 2022 post-pandemic highs, it is a 3% increase from 2019. For every dollar spent by the 137.4 million visitors in 2022, 97 cents were retained in the Florida economy. On average, visitors contribute $333 million per day to Florida’s economy and support over 2 million Florida jobs.
Join us to hear from our regional experts (a.k.a. our local tourism marketing agency) who will share their initiatives that bring visitors- leisure, business, and groups to your property and to dine in your restaurants. Learn how to engage with them and what tools they can provide you to help grow your business.
