wait....I thought people were saying the opposite...didn't the NAACP issue a travel warning?

"Florida hit a new visitation record for the third quarter of 2023, totaling 35.1 million visits between July and September, according to a press release from the governor’s office."

"Out of the 105.2 million visits in the first three quarters of 2023, 96.4 million have been domestic travelers, while 6 million were from oversees and 2 million were from Canada, according to governor’s office."

"Florida also saw an 11.3% increase in travel spending since 2019, compared to the U.S. which has only experienced a 3.9% rise. Florida also outpaces in travel spending against other states such as California and New York, with increases of 3.2% and 1.2% respectively."

And that's also with the decrease in visitors to areas of swfl. Which means other areas if the state saw huge increases.

Would been higher if Ft. Myers beach and sanibel didn't get wiped out.

35 million @ 1/4 = 140 million per year = ~ 1/3 US population

if each one only spent $100 = $14 billion

When people (USA) puts a warning on visiting Mexico, do Americans that travel take it seriously too? I don't. I am not talking about the border.

Has anybody found a source for this outside of the governor’s office? I’ve been reading about declining tax revenue from tourism for months, this came out of left field.
