As one of Georgia’s largest industries, tourism continues to grow and deliver positive impacts for communities in all four corners of the state.
Georgia broke tourism records for the third year in a row in 2024, maintaining its ranking as No. 5 in the nation for domestic overnight visitation for five straight years. A new high of 174.2 million domestic and international guests to Georgia spent a record $45.2 billion across the state, supporting 470,570 jobs.
The benefits from tourism flow through every region of the state, enhancing quality of life and strengthening the local communities that help Georgia succeed. Global events like the upcoming FIFA World Cup™, the arts and history of Savannah, small-town charm with big flavors in Thomasville, and natural wonders like Amicalola Falls State Park not only lift the soul and excite the senses but also power the economy and create opportunities for businesses of all sizes.
