Once bustling with tourists, Florida’s beach towns are now eerily quiet.

Tourism has plummeted by 30%, the lowest since the COVID era. Locals blame extreme heat, economic strain, and increasingly hostile immigration policies.

Under Trump-era visa restrictions and Governor DeSantis’s aggressive enforcement, international visitors—especially Canadians—are staying away. Spring Break was a no-show, and even Disney World is feeling the pinch.

Fear of ICE raids and harsh treatment of immigrants has made Florida feel unsafe for many.

Some call it “Alligator Alcatraz.” Others cite flesh-eating bacteria in the waters and record-breaking temperatures.

With rising costs and political tension, vacationers are choosing Mexico, the Bahamas, or anywhere but Florida.

According to reports, the Sunshine State’s glow is fading fast—driven by a mix of environmental concerns, economic instability, and policies that alienate foreign tourists.

Business owners in places like John’s Pass say it’s a ghost town, and many are struggling to stay afloat.
