Description
Sarasota County, Florida is a region that is predominantly reliant on the tourism industry. The
Southwest County is subjected to negative issues associated with an algal bloom, most
particularly, Red Tide. This condition can promote a significantly negative impact on Sarasota
County’s economy. Existing literature and its subsequent analysis provide evidence of the
associated issues of the bloom. The research will provide evidence of how the detrimental algae
has affected other Southwest counties. This study demonstrates the existence of severe Red Tide
outbreaks in Sarasota County: 2005, 2006, and 2018. However, it aims to show a comparison on
how the bloom affected direct and indirect tourism factors for 2006 and 2018 through impacts of
visitor spending.
