Orlando hosted a record 76.7 million visitors in 2025.

The figure, the highest in the bustling destination's history, represents a 1.8% increase over 2024.

Domestic visitation grew even more, by 2.2%, reaching a record 70.3 million visitors in 2025, according to Visit Orlando.

Visits by Floridians also increased by 3.4%, but international visitation fell 2.4% to 6.3 million visitors in 2025.

The international slump was largely due to a decline in visitors from Orlando's top international market, Canada, which saw a 13.3% dip in visitors from 2024. At 1,119,300 visitors, Canada remains Orlando's leading international origin market.

Orlando's other top international markets all saw increases last year, with United Kingdom visitation up 2.8% to 933,500, Brazil up 5.6% to 736,300, Mexico up 4.6% to 458,500 and Colombia up 5% to 360,000.

"National Travel & Tourism Week is the perfect time to announce our visitation numbers and recognize the people behind Orlando's tourism success, which supports local businesses, creates jobs and sustains a quality of life rarely found in destinations of our size," Visit Orlando President and CEO Casandra Matej said in a statement.

"While the total number of visitors reflects Orlando's continued growth, it only tells part of the story. Beyond the numbers are the experiences that motivate travel, the memories created and the emotional connections that continue to draw travelers to Orlando year after year for the economic benefit of our community," Matej added.
