From orlandosentinel.com:

Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau President Gary Sain — along with executives from Disney, Universal and SeaWorld-owner Busch Entertainment and a second visitors bureau official — is competing for one of three openings on the board that oversees Visit Florida, the statewide tourism-advertising agency.

Gov. Charlie Crist will pick three Central Florida representatives from among Sain; Ed Fouche, a senior vice president at Disney Destinations; Tammy Gustafson, director of national sales at Universal Orlando; Scott Rose, the vice president of marketing strategy and planning at Busch; and Maria Diaz Urbino, the community relations manager at the visitors bureau. (Fouche and Gustafson are seeking reappointments to the board, which is formally called the Florida Commission on Tourism.)

Crist’s office recently began contacting locals to get recommendations from among the group. As the Pulse notes, the timing is awkward for Sain, who has faced heavy criticism this month over a pricey plane ticket to Dubai.
