Visit Florida website rolls out eco-friendly travel hub
With Florida welcoming the equivalent of more than a third of the entire US population annually, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Visit Florida want to make tourism more sustainable.
The tourism marketing agency is launching an eco-friendly travel hub on its website.
It will be a one-stop information resource for more sustainable travel options throughout the state.
Visitors will be able to search listings for environmentally friendly attractions, activities, farm-to-table dining, transportation and accommodations.
"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," DeSantis said.
It will also offer tips for travelers wishing to get involved in voluntourism 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.
