Today, VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s official tourism marketing corporation, announced that 152 Florida businesses were accepted into the organization’s 2019 Targeted Marketing Assistance Program (TMAP). The TMAP program, currently in its second cycle, offers exclusive benefits at no cost to small, minority-owned, rural and agritourism businesses with annual gross revenues not exceeding $1.25 million. The third cycle of the program, designed to help the businesses improve their marketing efforts, begins July 1, 2019, and ends June 30, 2020.
VISIT FLORIDA President and CEO Dana Young said, “The revenue generated from tourism plays a vital role in the everyday lives of Floridians, whether they work in the industry or not. Our targeted marketing assistance program is very popular and gives small businesses in Florida the opportunity to tap into VISIT FLORIDA’s resources at no-cost to the business. We’re glad to provide this benefit to our state, and fully funding VISIT FLORIDA is an investment that is essential to so many of our state’s small, minority-owned, rural and agritourism businesses. When small tourism-reliant businesses have the tools to succeed, they drive visitation to the state, which helps keep our cost of living low.â€
