Real GDP Per Capita in Accommodation and Food Services Industry

• Tampa Bay’s per capita output in accommodation and food services has remained relatively stable over the decade, moving from about $1,747 in 2013 to $1,645 in 2023, with a sharp pandemic decline in 2020 followed by partial recovery through 2023.
• Orlando and Miami consistently lead all comparison MSAs, reflecting their strong tourism-driven economies, large hospitality workforces, and high visitor spending — producing per capita values that are more than double those of many peers.
• Every metro experienced a significant drop in 2020, mirroring national shutdowns in travel, restaurants, and lodging; however, most regions have rebounded, though few have returned fully to pre-pandemic productivity levels.

^{About: This indicator measures the inflation-adjusted Real GDP per capita generated by the Accommodation and Food Services sector (NAICS 72) in each metropolitan area. Because the measure is per capita, it reflects the intensity of hospitality-sector economic activity relative to the local population, not the total size of the tourism industry.
