Florida sees drop in first quarter tourism

Florida reported a 1 percent decline in first-quarter tourism compared to 2025, with 39.89 million visitors. Domestic travelers accounted for 92 percent of visitors, while overseas travel reached a quarterly record of 2.29 million, driven by increases from the UK and Ireland but a 12.1 percent drop in Canadian visitors. Visit Florida revised 2025 totals slightly upward due to delayed reporting and updated travel pattern data.
