@cbsatlanta: Georgia broke its tourism record for the fourth year in a row, with Gov. Brian Kemp announcing that the state welcomed a record 175.6 million domestic and international visitors in 2025. Those visitors spent more than $46 billion on lodging, restaurants, transportation, and more, surpassing the previous record by more than 2%. Georgia also ranked No. 5 in the nation for domestic overnight visitors for the sixth consecutive year. Tourism generates an estimated $84.1 billion in economic impact across Georgia and supports 473,837 direct, indirect, and induced jobs—about one in every 15 jobs statewide. Officials credited Georgia's natural wonders, communities, attractions, and tourism professionals for the continued growth, while the excitement surrounding the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup in Atlanta earlier this year also contributed.
