Visit Orlando, the Official Tourism Association® for Orlando, announced that the destination welcomed 75,333,800 visitors in 2024—an increase of 1.8% over 2023.

Domestic visitation grew by 1.4%, totaling 68,840,300 visitors in 2024. This increase was driven in part by a rise in day visits and overnight non-hotel stays. International visitation continued to recover at a faster pace, growing 5.9% from the previous year. In total, Orlando welcomed 6.5 million visitors from international markets in 2024.

“We've seen a strong rebound in U.K. visitation, now reaching 88% of pre-pandemic levels,” said Casandra Matej, President & CEO of Visit Orlando. “With strong air connectivity and a deep affinity for our destination, U.K. travelers are drawn to our world-famous attractions and diverse experiences. We continue to actively invest in the market through strategic marketing, PR and travel trade initiatives to help travelers discover all that Orlando has to offer.”

Canada remains the top international market to Orlando with 1.29 million visitors, representing a 2.7% increase over 2023 and setting a new record for the second consecutive year. The U.K., Brazil, Mexico and Colombia rounded out the list of the top 5 origin markets. Canada, Mexico and Colombia remained well above pre-pandemic levels during 2024, while visitation from the U.K. continued a slower but steady recovery (up 3.5%), reaching 907,900. Trips from Brazil remained consistent, showing a slight 0.2% growth in 2024.
