TPA: Leisure AND Business

If you only know about Tampa’s enticing leisure passenger market, you only know half the story.

Tampa Bay is one of America’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas, with a net inflow of 150 people per day – many of them college-educated millennials. The Tampa Bay Area is now home to more than 3 million people and Tampa International Airport welcomes 22 million annual passengers – with room to grow.

TPA is centrally located both 15 minutes from Tampa’s business core and just 30 minutes from the world-renowned beaches on Florida’s Gulf Coast. And yes, TPA also is only 75 minutes from Walt Disney World, making our easy-to-navigate airport especially attractive to leisure travelers looking for holidays that combine beaches and theme parks.

But it’s our business travel story that sometimes comes as a pleasant surprise to airlines who are filling the front of their aircraft at better-than-projected rates.

Thanks in large part to booming corporate campus growth in our region, Tampa International continues to increase our local originating passenger share – which already is the highest among Florida’s major airports, at 46 percent.

This dynamic creates a profitable and diversified mix of business and leisure travelers. With 186 percent growth in international traffic since 2010, 90+ nonstop destinations, and a strong commitment to customer service, TPA consistently ranks in the top 3 U.S. airports by travelers and industry leaders.
