It's no exaggeration that a state this large and diverse offers a perfect fit for any group. Famous for its warm climate and stunning coastline, the Sunshine State is a mosaic of cosmopolitan cities, beachfront resort areas and small towns with Old Florida charm,
each Florida destination with its own distinct personality. Around the state you'll find an impressive array of world-class
group accommodations, unique group venues, championship golf, superlative spas, fishing, ecotourism, and all things aquatic. Convenient air accessibility, budget-friendly seasonal values and passport-free travel for U.S. citizens add to Florida's appeal for meetings and incentives.
In a state where tourism is number one, you can bet that our experience and expertise will make your meeting a success!
VISIT FLORIDA is the state's official source for travel planning for the Sunshine State. It is not a government agency, but the operating company of the Florida Commission on Tourism, which is a private/public partnership, made up of top state government officials and representatives of the Florida tourism industry.
Created by the Florida legislature in 1996, VISIT FLORIDA receives part of its funding from the public sector, in the form of a 15.75% share of the state's $2.00 per day Rental Car Surcharge. Much more of its funding comes from the private sector as direct investment from tourism industry Partners, strategic alliances, cooperative advertising, and media equivalency from promotions.
VISIT FLORIDA markets to consumers, both in the U.S. and abroad, works with the world's major travel journalists, represents the state at domestic and international travel trade shows and promotes the state to travel agents and tour operators all over the world. VISIT FLORIDA has many programs to help the state's many tourism businesses and destinations market themselves more effectively and affordably.
VISIT FLORIDA's research department compiles the state's official air and non-air visitor estimates, tracks tourism trends and conducts surveys on the effectiveness of advertising and marketing efforts.
VISIT FLORIDA employs a staff of 115 at the organization’s headquarters in Tallahassee, its five Official Florida Welcome Centers, European office and a dedicated office in Miami serving Latin America. VISIT FLORIDA also has three field offices in Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando, and has international contractors in the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and Germany
VISIT FLORIDA also operates the state's five Official Florida Welcome Centers at I-10 near Pensacola, U.S. 231, I-75, I-95, and the Florida Capitol in Tallahassee.
Florida Tourism is a not-for-profit organization charged with representing Florida and helping the long-term development of Florida communities through a travel and tourism strategy. Florida Tourism is an unbiased resource, and serves as a broker and official point of contact for convention and meeting planners, tour operators and visitors. Florida Tourism will assist planners with meeting preparation and encourage business travelers and visitors alike to visit local historic, cultural and recreational sites.
Florida Tourism makes planning and implementing a meeting less time-consuming and more streamlined. They give meeting planners access to a range of services, packages and value-added extras. Before a meeting begins, sales professionals from Florida Tourism can help locate meeting space, check hotel availability, and arrange for site inspections. Florida Tourism can also link planners with the suppliers, from motor coach companies and caterers to off-site entertainment venues, that can help meet the prerequisites of any event.
No matter the size of the meeting being organized, from 50 to 50,000, all planners are encouraged to use Florida Tourism.
