Gov. Ron DeSantis has announced that Florida has achieved another historic milestone in tourism, welcoming a record-breaking 34.4 million travelers in the second quarter of 2025.
This all-time high for second-quarter visitation further cements Florida’s reputation as the nation’s premier travel destination. These results are proof of Florida’s enduring draw and the state’s commitment to delivering outstanding experiences for visitors from across the country and around the world.
“Florida continues to lead the way as the nation’s top travel destination,” said DeSantis. “People from all over the world come to the Free State of Florida to take advantage of our top-tier attractions, great weather, and our commitment to public safety. Today’s record numbers are a testament to the work we’ve done to make Florida the most appealing state to visit in the nation.”
Domestic travelers accounted for 91.5 percent of total visitation, with 31.5 million Americans visiting the state. Overseas visitation rose by 11.4 percent over the year to reach 2.3 million, with an additional 640,000 Canadian visitors visiting Florida.
In addition, Florida’s 19 commercial airports handled 28.6 million total enplanements. Punta Gorda (+22.5 percent) and St. Petersburg-Clearwater (+14 percent) saw the fastest growth. Room demand at Florida hotels rose by 1.2 percent.
