According to the latest numbers from Visit Florida, the state’s publicly subsidized tourism-advertising agency, an estimated 80.3 million people visited Florida in 2009. 
These are initial counts and show a slight drop of just 0.8 percent from 2008.
2010 could be different, but the last two years have remained strong despite the general world-wide economic conditions. Visit Florida reported that visitors are spending less while here but this creates a silver lining for short term rental owners as more visitors opt for rental homes over hotels.
Other Visit Florida statistics;
* 18.1 million people came to the Sunshine State during the fourth quarter of 2009.
* About 20 million visited in the 3rd quarter of 2009
* They (Visit Florida) also began using a new methodology to count visitors and revised its original total for 2008 from 82.5 million visitors to 80.9 million – still just an incredible amount of visitors when you think about it.
