April 02, 2012 | WMFE - In the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting in Sanford in February, several prominent civil rights activists have called for a boycott of Florida's tourism industry. Now there are numerous websites and Facebook pages calling for tourists and convention planners to avoid Florida until there is an arrest or some kind of resolution in the case.
90.7’s Tom Parkinson asked Dr. Duncan Dickson at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management at the University of Central Florida if this incident will have significant short term or long term affects on Central Florida’s largest industry.
