It appears 2024 will be another record year for tourism in the Bay Area, according to Visit Tampa Bay. While data from the last few months is still being reviewed, Visit Tampa Bay President Santiago Corrada estimates Hillsborough County will bring in more than a billion dollars in taxable hotel revenue in 2024. "What I am surprised about is that we keep out-doing ourselves year after year after year after year," Corrada said. "I've been in place here now for the last 12 years and it has been record-setting except for the one COVID year." In 2024, Spring was king, with March bringing the most business to area hotels. March was also the month Tampa International Airport (TPA) saw the most travelers — 2.6 million people. April was in the second spot with more than 2.2 million.
