Are you planning to visit Florida in 2017? According to Florida Governor, Rick Scott, tourists are flocking to the Sunshine State in record numbers.

On Monday, Governor Scott will pay a visit to Miami’s Jungle Island, to announce that over 31 million people have visited the State in the first 3 months of the year; a 2.5 percent increase from the same time period in 2016. Almost 113 million tourist visited Florida in 2016, the majority, from the U.S..

Scott also plans to warn that possible cuts coming to Florida’s tourism marketing agency, could threaten continued growth. It was recently voted by state legislators, to cut funding to Visit Florida by 67 percent. Scott has hinted that he may veto the budget, but if he signs the new state budget, the cuts will go into effect in July.
