In the first half of 2022, tourism in Florida rose 20 percent from the same time 2021 and was higher than during the first six months of 2019. The tourism-marketing agency of the state, Visit Florida, posted late Monday numbers online that estimated from April 1 through June 30th, Florida had 33.717 million visitors. This brought the total for the first six months of 2022 to around 69.34 million.
The second-quarter number had increased 5.6 percent from the same time in last year. Tourism in the first quarter was 38.3 percent higher the first quarter of last year.
During the second quarter, travel from within the United States reported for around 93 percent of the people visiting the US state and almost 94 percent of visiting in the initial six months. During 2022s first quarter, the 35.628 million visitors was an all-time three-month record. During the second quarter, the drop in tourists was not at all a shock.
The first quarter, covering majority of the winters, has been the Florida’s busiest tourism period, historically. With gas prices going up a gallon and inflation at a four-decade high, officials of tourism in June showed their anxiety that hotel room rates, which was increased due to rising demand in the past year, were starting to damage the travel sector.
As Florida was still rising from the untimely monetary breakdown in 2021, 31.935 million tourists visited Florida in the second quarter.
