Orlando’s streak as the most-visited destination continues! The Orlando area welcomed 66.1 million people in 2015, a 5.5 percent increase. Florida became the first state to welcome more than 100 million out-of-state and international tourists. Gov. Rick Scott said more than 105 million people came to the Sunshine State in 2015.

State and tourism officials said it took time to crack the 100 million mark, a goal set by Scott several years ago. “The momentum is extraordinary,” he said. “And one of the most important things we have is strengths in markets like the U.K. and Latin America. We have growth in overseas visitors.” Between January and June, Florida recorded 54.1 million tourists. About 25.8 million visitors came to Florida during the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 5.5 percent over 2014’s second quarter. New attractions and an ever-changing tourist landscape in Florida is being credited for the increased number of visitors. Chapek took a moment to describe the lenghty list of changes and updates coming to Disney’s parks in Orlando, including lands for Star Wars, Toy Story and Avatar. Seccombe said Orlando’s success is critical for the state’s overall success. “Orlando is the most visited destination in the United States. It’s the most visited city,” he said. “And certainly the home of the theme park capital of the world, right? No place else on earth can compare to that.” In 2014, Orlando recorded 62 million visitors, which includes in-state, out-of-state and international visitors. Even though the...
