Registration and Hotel Reservations

Open April 18!

Since launching on January 1, 2023, nearly 20,000 potential Florida travelers from 142 countries have visited FloridaAttractions.com. The FAA continues to invest in marketing our member attractions on the site through an aggressive SEM campaign that is reaching consumers and showcasing the best family attractions Florida has to offer!

Based on the results of the campaign so far, beginning April 1, we will discontinue our geotargeted advertising and instead deliver very limited display ads for Featured Attractions to every visitor to the website. Only six Featured Attractions with links to the attraction’s website will be featured on the homepage of FloridaAttractions.com.

Featured Attraction display ads are now available for only $250/month (billed quarterly) and are available on a first come-first served basis for the 3 quarters remaining in 2023.

ACT NOW - Ads for Quarter 2 will be displayed starting April 1.

Revenue generated from these display ads helps offset the costs of search engine marketing of the site.

If you have any questions about the new website and the ad sales process, please contact the Florida Attractions Association office – (850) 222-2885 or info@FloridaAttractions.org.
