Airbnb reports $15.6 billion economic impact in Florida for 2023

Airbnb contributed $15.6 billion to Florida’s economy in 2023 — the most of any state in America — while supporting 183,600 jobs, the company reported.

The platform’s activities brought additional cashflow to local sectors beyond traditional hospitality, boosting small businesses and services. According to an economic report published by the platform, Florida saw the highest spending in restaurants among states, with guests spending nearly $5 billion.

A separate report published last month disclosed that Florida saw an increase in tax revenue generated by Airbnb hosts last year, accruing more than $387 million.
