Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's war against The Walt Disney Co. has impacted the state's biggest tourism attraction and is leading to a broader backlash that could seriously hurt the state's economy.
The consequences of DeSantis's actions are not limited to the Disney dispute. Florida's political climate, characterized by controversial policies concerning LGBTQ rights and race, has led to a growing number of conventions and conferences avoiding the state altogether. At least five groups have canceled or moved their events out of Orange County and Fort Lauderdale over concerns about the state's policies.
Florida's tourism industry is displaying broader signs of decline, particularly in the Orlando area. The Orange County comptroller's office reported a 6.7% decrease in tourist development tax collections for May compared to the previous year, marking the second consecutive decrease since February 2021.
