“June 2025 collections were the highest June collections on record. The strong collections in June
represent the first full month following the grand opening of Epic Universe on May 22” said Comptroller Diamond.
According to Visit Orlando, Orlando’s hotel occupancy in June rose 1.5% year-over-year to 73.5%, with demand increasing by an even greater margin of 3.4%. The Average Daily Rate (ADR) reached $196.70, reflecting a 4.2% increase from June 2024 ($188.70). Short-term rentals for Orlando saw a substantial increase in demand in June from last year (+18%), although ADR fell by 3%. Overall, June marked a solid start to the summer travel season, bolstered by the first full month of Universal’s Epic Universe being open and major events like the AAU’s Junior Volleyball National Championship running for several weeks in June.
