No Casinos

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:15:16 GMT

No Casinos The Florida Attractions Association has historically opposed the expansion of casino gambling in Florida. Florida is fortunate to possess a world-class reputation as a family-friendly destination complete with a collection of diverse attractions that are the envy of the world. Less fortunate destinations around the US have sought to increase their market share of tourism by adding casino gambling to their states. The results have been less than stellar. Promises of economic boom and employment gains are not sustained, and the gambling industry has become passe with the passage of time. The Florida brand is worthy of our efforts to protect her against outside interests seeking to capitalize on our destination superiority by adding casinos to the Sunshine State landscape. Maintaining a clean, safe, family-friendly environment...

2012 Legislative Session

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:25:20 GMT

The Florida Attractions Association advocates for Florida's attraction industry. While our efforts are year-round, activities intensify during Florida's Legislative Session. The Florida Constitution mandates an annual, 60-day Session, with only one prescribed responsibility - to adopt a state budget. We know our elected representatives will be busy doing much more than passing a budget. In 2012, the Legislative Session starts about two months earlier than usual, due to the processes of decennial redistricting and reapportionment, required after US Census reports are released. Florida's growth between 2000 and 2010 will net our state two additional Congressional seats. Each year, the Florida Attractions Association Board of Directors seeks input from our members to help develop a Priority Issues statement. We appreciate the many attraction leaders who actively...
