Greater Miami and Beaches received a record-breaking 16.5 million overnight visitors in 2018, along with 6.8 million daytrip travelers, for a total 23.3 million visitors in 2018. Overnight visitors are up 3.5 percent over 2017, resulting in an $18 billion economic impact.

The international overnight visitor market showed the most growth last year, with a 4.1 percent year-over-year increase. The top three countries of origin for overnight international visitors were Brazil, Colombia and Argentina. Combined, the three countries accounted for more than 20 percent of international overnight visitors. As far as the domestic overnight market, New York City remains the largest market traveling to the Greater Miami and Beaches area.

Cruise travel was also a significant market for the region, with one in 10 visitors arriving via cruise ship. Port Miami welcomed a record 6 million cruise passengers in 2018.

“International continues to be a priority market for Greater Miami while we see Greater Miami evolve as a preferred destination for Florida residents and day trippers,” said William D. Talbert III, CDME, president and CEO, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau.
