Visit Florida will soon be out of the advertising money BP gave the state tourism agency to spread the word that most of Florida’s coast is still open for business. Visit Florida received the seven million dollars June 7th, and used the money to air TV, Radio, and Internet ads mainly in Southeast region of the country. CEO Chris Thompson says Visit Florida still plans to promote instate travel, but more money will be needed to continue the out-of-state campaign.

“Some of the instate stuff we are doing will be go beyond that, but as far as the big push which is through television and radio it pretty much ends this weekend,” said Thompson.

Visit Florida is asking Governor Charlie Crist to get more money from BP to continue running ads the rest of the summer.
