Thursday, 31 March 20163 min read

Florida welcomed a record 105 million visitors last year, its fifth consecutive year of growth.

Preliminary estimates show that 1.6 million UK visitors travelled to the Sunshine State in 2015, a rise of 5% over 2014. The UK is Florida’s largest foreign market, after Canada and just ahead of Brazil.

The total numbers arriving by plane rose 8.2%, leading Governor Scott to announce a new target of 115 million visitors for 2016.

For the fourth quarter of 2015, preliminary estimates show a record 25.2 million people visited Florida, the highest number ever and a 6.7% increase over the same period in 2014.~
