TL;DR Summary

The NAACP has issued a travel advisory for Florida, citing Governor Ron DeSantis' "aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools." The organization joins the League of United Latin American Citizens and LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Florida in cautioning travelers against visiting the state. The NAACP warns that Florida is "openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals." Florida's tourism industry is massive, with over 137 million visitors in 2022, contributing $101.9 billion to the state's economy.
