Citrus County is set to boost its tourism sector with the launch of a national awareness campaign titled "We Are Open for Business." This initiative aims to inform potential visitors that the county is fully operational and ready to welcome tourists, especially as the popular manatee season approaches.

During the Citrus County Board of County Commissioners meeting on November 19, 2024, officials emphasized the importance of this campaign in revitalizing local tourism. The campaign will highlight the county's attractions and readiness to serve visitors, countering any misconceptions about closures or restrictions.

In addition to the tourism campaign, the meeting covered various topics, including updates on local infrastructure projects and community services. However, the focus on tourism development stood out as a critical step towards economic recovery and growth in Citrus County.

As the campaign rolls out, officials are optimistic that it will not only attract visitors but also support local businesses and enhance the overall community experience. The county is committed to ensuring that residents and visitors alike can enjoy all that Citrus County has to offer.
