Visit Florida website adds eco-travel hub

Visit Florida has added an eco-friendly travel hub to its website to provide a one-stop information resource for more sustainable travel options throughout the state.

Visitors can search listings for environmentally-friendly attractions, activities, farm-to-table dining, transport and accommodation.

"Since taking office, I have made the protection of our environment a top priority. More eco-friendly travel to our state will help our economy continue to grow, while keeping taxes low for Floridians," said governor Ron DeSantis.

The site will also offer details of volunteer tourism activities.

"Florida boasts a multitude of transportation options and through the travel hub, visitors are connected to the most efficient ways to make their travel environmentally-friendly," said Florida president and CEO Dana Young.

It provides details on nearly 400 properties in the Florida Green Lodging Program, which lists accommodation suppliers ‘committed to conserving and protecting the state’s natural resources.’

"Many of Florida’s attractions and activities offer less impactful ways to experience the state and are highlighted in the hub’s resource guide," Young added.
