Advocacy in Action

What is the Partnership for Florida’s Tourism?

The Partnership for Florida’s Tourism is a grassroots coalition designed to raise awareness of the importance of tourism and to increase public funding of tourism marketing.  The Partnership for Florida’s Tourism began in 2006 to combat the increased funding of other top destinations.  Key influencers in the tourism industry and key influencers from business not directly within the Florida tourism industry but who benefit from spending of Florida’s visitors, have joined in this effort.

The Partnership is comprised of the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, Florida Attractions Association, Florida Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds, Florida Association of Destination Management Organizations and VISIT FLORIDA.
