Florida has once again proven it’s not just a vacation hotspot—but a smart investment haven. According to Florida Realtors, the Sunshine State secured an all-time record 15.5% share of U.S. vacation travel in 2024, welcoming 142.9 million visitors and solidifying its reign as the most visited state in the nation for the sixth consecutive year.
At Global Vanguard International, we view these numbers not just as impressive tourism stats—but as powerful signals for smart real estate investment.
