Even with the traumatic year the state had in 2016, Florida still managed to maintain a record breaking year when it comes to the amount of tourists it saw enter and vacation in the state.
The Orlando Sentinel states that 112.8 million visitors came to Florida in 2016, marking the 6th year in a row it has broken the previous year’s attendance record! In 2015, 106.6 million travelers visited the sunshine state.
Visit Florida tracks the tourist numbers and they take into account not only domestic visitors, but international visitors as well. 98 Million of the 112.8 million visitors in 2016 were domestic visitors, while international visitors totaled 14.8 million.
We’re not surprised that Florida’s tourism numbers continue to rise. Central Florida is, of course, our personal favorite destination; seeing as it’s home to Walt Disney World. The combination of theme parks, beaches, and beautiful weather year round tend to make Florida a very desirable vacation destination for those that seek to experience the beauty of the state.
