		Florida welcomes visitors year round, however the summer and early fall months bring less leisure travel to the Sunshine State - and the perfect opportunity for your group to visit for a meeting or conference. You'll enjoy reasonably priced group rates, and your attendees will enjoy vacationing with their families during your meeting. With this in mind, VISIT FLORIDA^® has adopted complimentary Cover Your Event (CYE) Insurance. This supplemental insurance is intended to cover any costs directly related to re-booking a meeting should it be displaced due to a named hurricane. CYE ensures that you can plan your meeting with confidence and take full advantage of Florida's unsurpassed venues any time of year, while benefiting from those outstanding summer and fall values. CYE applications for August (Sold Out), September and October 2010 are now being accepted. Registration will open soon for 2011. For more information, please visit Cover Your Event Insurance or contact cye@VISITFLORIDA.org.
