More than 16.5 million overnight visitors came to Miami in 2018, earning them U.S. dollars 18 billion as per the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB). It registered a 3.5 per cent increase in visitors from 2017. There were 6.8 million day-trippers. The total number of visitors to the city was 23.3 million.

 

 

 

International tourists from Latin America continue to be Miami’s most frequent visitors with Brazil, Argentina and Colombia ranking as top source markets. Domestically, New York provides more overnight visitors to it than any other state. Most tourists who visit this city for the day are Florida residents.

 

 

 

Tourists spent U.S. dollars 18 billion in in the city in 2018, a decrease from U.S. dollars 26 billion in 2017.

 

 

 

Most overnight visitors in 2018 stayed in hotels versus short-term rentals or with friends. The most popular area to stay among tourists is the Miami’s Beach followed by the airport area and the downtown.

 

 

 

The Bureau plans 15 town hall meetings across the county this month as it develops a marketing strategy for Miami’s tourism for the next five years; the plan is due for unveiling in the fall.

 

 

 

The CVB expects to see more visitors this year thanks to the renovation of the Miami Beach Convention Center, which reopened in October 2018.
