Rick Scott Gets the Backing of Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association

On Wednesday, the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association (FRLA) endorsed Gov. Rick Scott for re-election.

There is no question this governor understands the importance of tourism and the vital role the hospitality industry plays in job creation and economic development, said Carol Dover, the president and CEO of the FRLA. On behalf of our more than 10,000 members representing hoteliers, restaurateurs and suppliers, we are thrilled to give our strongest of endorsements to Gov. Rick Scott and Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera this election cycle.

Gov. Scott led the charge in securing $75 million for Visit Florida tourism marketing, and $700,000 for our Hospitality Education Program (HEP) which helps train the next generation of industry professionals, said James McManemon, the general manager of the Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island and the 2014 chairman of the FRLA. His goal in attracting 100 million visitors to our state is one that FRLA not only supports, but is working together in providing both residents and tourists the best possible experience in our hotels, our restaurants and all that Florida has to offer.
