This report paints a somewhat different picture of Florida's tourism industry, and what tourists (snowbirds are tourists too) contribute to Florida on an annual basis. It would be hard to imagine what Florida would look like economically, without tourists.

from your article...
Florida’s peak tourism employment occurs in March or April. For the minimum tourism jobs, in 4 of the 7 years analyzed, the trough was in October, and in three of the years the trough was in January.
In each of the years since 2007, the U.S.’s lowest tourism job numbers
occur in January. In 5 of the 7 years analyzed, the peak is in August,
It's the summer tourists that make the tourism wheels turn, not the winter ones.
