DeSantis dismisses NAACP’s Florida travel advisory ‘stunt,' cites record-high tourist travel

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday dismissed the NAACP's formal travel advisory that accused Florida of being "openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals," and said recent tourist travel data shows Florida has never been more popular for all travelers.

"As Governor DeSantis announced last week, Florida is seeing record-breaking tourism," DeSantis press secretary Jeremy Redfern told Fox News Digital in reaction to NAACP's travel advsory. "This is nothing more than a stunt."

Redfern noted that DeSantis just last month celebrating Florida getting 37.9 million tourist visits in the first three months of this year, a state record for a single quarter.
