IMPACTO EN LOS VISITANTES DEL ESTADO DE WASHINGTON
Figures released by State of Washington Tourism (SWT) indicate modest growth in Washington State’s visitor volume, expenditures, tax receipts and employment in 2024, though adjusted for inflation, visitor spending has not yet surpassed 2019 levels. The annual Economic Impacts of Visitors in Washington State, compiled by national travel research firm Tourism Economics for SWT, was released in advance of National Travel and Tourism Week, May 4-10.
According to the report, visitor expenditures increased 5.3% to $25.1 billion in 2024, exceeding 2019 levels. However, in inflation-adjusted terms, the industry remains 5.2% behind 2019 business levels. Seattle-King County visitor spending increased 6.8%, outpacing the state as a whole. All other counties collectively grew 4.0%.
Last year, visits to Washington increased 2.7% to 110.8 million, or 101% of 2019 levels. The market was largely composed of domestic visitation (97.8% of total share), which grew 2.6%. International markets increased 9.7 percent overall; Canadian visits grew 3.5% and other international visits grew 19.1% (note that 2024 growth figures preclude the downward influence of 2025 tariffs and political rhetoric).
