Naples, Florida, ranks in Top 10 for overseas visitors - Naples Daily News
We love lists. Especially lists that include places we know and love.
Naples frequently appears on "best places to" lists, whether for its restaurants or beaches or great golf courses, so it is not surprising that this Southwest Florida city on the Gulf of Mexico showed up recently on another list that will likely encourage even more people to visit.
The folks at the website Trips to Discover crunched some data in March and revealed Naples is No. 6 on the Top-10 places to visit in Florida, specifically for overseas visitors. Miami came in a No. 1 with 2,759,000 overseas visitors. Nearby Cape Coral is No. 9 (53,000).
Based on 2021 data and before Hurricane Ian hit Southwest Florida on Sept. 28, 2022, the website reports Florida is the No.1 most visited state in the U.S. by overseas tourists. The report said more than 4 million overseas travelers visited the Sunshine State in 2021, an estimated 44.6% of the nation's total that year. The data for the report comes from the International Trade Administration's National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO).
Using NTTO data, the Trips to Discover team found the 10 most-visited metropolitan areas in Florida as ranked by the total estimated overseas visitors to each city in 2021 (excluding Mexico and Canada).
