In 2024, Jacksonville welcomed over 8 million visitors resulting in an estimated economic impact of $7.4 billion to the local economy. These findings were revealed in the Economic Impact and Tracking Report, commissioned by Visit Jacksonville and funded by the Duval County Tourist Development Council. Today we are sharing the report, conducted by Tallahassee-based Downs & St. Germain Research. Nearly 5 million guest rooms were sold in local hotels during the fiscal year 2024 generating bed tax collections of $31.5 million. This influx of visitors supported 56,900 jobs in Duval County and generated almost $2.8 billion in wages. Additionally, visitors contributed to local taxes, saving each Duval County household an estimated $540 in taxes for 2024. View the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eCmm-i6N
