Washington, D.C., had a record number of tourists in 2024, but officials are less optimistic about the city’s outlook for international tourism in 2025.
Destination DC announced Tuesday that 27.2 million people visited the District of Columbia last year, beating the record set in 2023 by 1.25 million and accounting for $2.3 billion in tax revenue for the district. The figure included 2.2 million international visitors, who the organization said tend to spend twice as much as domestic visitors.
