Visit Lauderdale was honored with six coveted Flagler Awards during the 2023 Florida Governor’s Conference on Tourism hosted by VISIT FLORIDA on September 6, 2023, at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida. Each year, leaders across Florida’s tourism industry are chosen by selection committees to recognize outstanding marketing strategies and campaigns. The awards are open to all individuals, private businesses and not-for-profit organizations offering a product or service that promotes tourism to or within the state of Florida. Working independently, a diverse panel of thirteen judges evaluated the creativity, innovation, production quality and effectiveness of each entry. Based on the judges’ cumulative scores, awards were presented to the top three entries in each category: the Bronze Award for the third highest scoring entry, the Silver Award for the second highest scoring entry, and the Henry Award for the highest scoring entry in each category. Stacy Ritter, president and CEO of Visit Lauderdale said, “We are humbled to receive such meaningful accolades from our industry peers and gratified that our creative campaigns truly reflect who we are and shows how special Greater Fort Lauderdale is in every bold, beautiful and surprising way. Our diversity is our strength, and we continue to proudly and loudly tell this story to the world.”
