I keep saying it, and I’ll say it again: Nature travel in Florida is growing. A Bradenton Herald article is the latest to confirm it, saying, “Nearly 60 percent of the 84 million tourists who come to Florida yearly said they have sampled some of Florida’s natural wonders during their stay,” a state tourism board statistic. The article highlights a couple of nature-based tourism businesses that have grown.
If you’re not aware, I wrote a book called 30 Eco-Trips in Florida, which came out a couple years ago. It mostly details places around the state that are great for nature tourism, but it also goes into the economics of nature travel.

Florida’s nature tourism has been the victim of corporate attack for too long. The
Buckeye paper mill has been polluting the rivers of north Florida since the 50’s and damaging the
potential Kayaking and other tourism possibilities. UF will be hosting a meeting soon that could give Buckeye state funding to further their pollution. If you care about Florida’s tourism and ending this bull sh*t, come over to the meeting and help put a stop to their attack.
