Orlando – a major US travel and tourism city for 2022

Tuesday, February 14, 2023

The WTTC has stated that Orlando is expected to be an important U.S. travel and tourism city destination for last year, with a financial input of more than $31 billion, improving beyond the levels of 2019 by $2.7 billion.

A report evaluated the tourism sector’s influence in Orlando, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Honolulu.

Las Vegas occupied the second place after Orlando as the second biggest travel & tourism market in the U.S. Last year, the city had a direct GDP input of $23 billion, exceeding the 2019 standard by 5.3%.

In 2022, Miami grabbed the topmost city destination list with a gallant GDP response with $11.1 billion that surpassed pre-pandemic input by 5% notwithstanding an overwhelming 56% decline in financial input from travel and tourism in 2020.

Last year, Los Angeles and New York City also grabbed the top spots in the US with travel & tourism GDPs estimating $21.1 billion and $11 billion respectively, exhibiting robust signs of reaching the levels of 2019.

The WTTC President & CEO Julia Simpson said that 2022 was a year of resurfacing for cities across the US.

Destinations like Orlando, Las Vegas, Miami and Chicago have now rebounded resilient than ever before due to the lessening in pandemic rules and a robust recovery of consumer assurance.
