This could be a record year for Florida tourism

Florida is on pace for a record year for tourism.

According to VISIT FLORIDA's preliminary estimates 24.0 million visitors came to Florida between April-June, an increase of 3.0 percent over the same period in 2013. 

That’s the largest second quarter for tourism Florida has ever experienced. 

Visitor spending is also up.

VisitFlorida said tourists spent nearly 36 billion dollars between January and May, 7 percent more than 2013.

VISIT FLORIDA estimates that 2.8 million overseas visitors and one million Canadians came to Florida during the second quarter, while Floridians took just over 3.7 million in-state pleasure trips during the same time.
