Good Afternoon,
This morning I announced we are recommending an historic $100 million in funding for our state's tourism agency, VISIT FLORIDA, in our 2014-2015 "It's Your Money Tax Cut Budget."
This funding will supply VISIT FLORIDA with the resources needed to reach our goal of making the Sunshine State the number one travel destination in the world.
In 2012, Florida had a record year for tourism with 91.5 million visitors to Florida, and for the first three quarters of 2013, we welcomed more than 72 million visitors. This puts us on pace for another record-breaking year!
We know that every 85 visitors to our state supports one Florida job, and with this historic $100 million in funding, we'll strengthen our economy and create more jobs for Florida families.
Gov. Rick Scott
