For the first six months of 2022, the Jacksonville convention scene has captured more than 62% of all of 2019 contracted room nights. In 2019, 62,857 was the entire year's worth of room nights, compared to 38,890 for just the first half of 2022. So far, 38,890 room nights have been contracted, compared to just 20,925 last year in the same period.
