Florida’s tourism marketing firm, Visit Florida has said that about 30.6 million domestic visitors came to the state from April through June of this year, marking a 216% surge from the same time last year.
The number of US tourists visiting Florida in the second quarter of this year has gone back to pre-pandemic levels, though the international market is still lagging, as per figures released on Thursday.
Overall, Florida witnessed 31.4 million visitors in the second quarter of this year, which is increase of 220% from the same period last year.
Florida’s international market has not yet recuperated to pre-pandemic levels due to restrictions regarding entering the US. Florida welcomed only 1.1 million visitors from overseas and Canada in the second quarter of this year, compared to 3.5 million visitors in the second quarter of 2019.
During the spring of 2020, Florida’s major theme parks and hotels were eitherclosed or operated on a limited basis due to the pandemic. The theme parks reopened more than a year ago but requiring masks, attendance limitations and social distancing. However, many of those restrictions were relaxed earlier this year.
