“The secret is out. People have discovered the beauty of Amelia Island and Nassau County. I rise today to recognize National Travel and Tourism Week in my neck of the woods, in Nassau County, Florida. I want to congratulate and celebrate everyone who is in the tourism industry. Seventy percent of Nassau County's economy comes from visitors. Some say they come for the great beaches, parks, or golf, but the real secret sauce is the warm southern hospitality. Tourism is the largest creator of jobs and tax dollars in Nassau County. This week is a chance to celebrate our tourism community and highlight the people who work in this important sector. Through their customer service and positive interactions with visitors, they are helping promote Amelia Island and Nassau County not only as a top 10 island destination but as a beloved destination for travelers to make memories. Today, it is fitting that on its 40th anniversary, we recognize May 7 through May 13, 2023, as National Travel and Tourism Week in Nassau County, Florida. Recognizing the 170th Anniversary of the Duval County Medical Society”
