Florida Tourism Slightly Down in First Quarter but Overseas Visitors at Record High

Tallahassee, FL -- Florida saw slightly fewer tourists in the first three months of the year compared to the same period in twenty-twenty-five. Visit Florida reports an estimated thirty-nine-point-nine million visitors in the first quarter — down about one percent from last year. Canadian travel dropped more than twelve percent, likely tied to ongoing tensions over trade and tariffs. However, overseas visitors hit a record high for the quarter at two-point-three million — up more than eight percent — with travel from the United Kingdom and Ireland both seeing double-digit increases.
