The data has revealed that 32.2 million people came to North Yorkshire in 2024 including both day and overnight visitors, which is an increase of 3.8 per cent on 2023.
The visitor economy supports more than 38,000 full-time jobs in the county, highlighting the importance that the sector has for North Yorkshire’s economy.
