Controversy Surrounds Florida as a Model for America and Travel Destination.

A coalition of civil rights groups has issued travel advisories warning visitors before traveling to Florida, where Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has advanced a far-right platform targeting civil liberties, education, healthcare and immigration. The advisories are drawing attention to the governor’s far-reaching assault on civil liberties that have animated his newly launched 2024 campaign for the Republican nomination for president. The coalition of civil rights groups behind recent travel advisories are not calling for an economic boycott, but several Black tourism groups have questioned whether the NAACP is taking the right approach.
