Please see below a statement from Governor Rick Scott regarding the Florida Senate’s proposal to cut VISIT FLORIDA’s funding to $50 million, a reduction of $26 million from this year’s funding.
“I completely oppose the Florida Senate’s proposal to cut VISIT FLORIDA’s budget by a third. I will fight to protect the 1.4 million jobs that rely on Florida’s tourism industry by making sure that VISIT FLORIDA gets $100 million this year. After the devastating hurricane season we faced last year, we shouldn’t be playing games with our state’s tourism industry.” – Governor Rick Scott
