It also promoted the location of conventions and sporting events within the state, helped provide recreational campaigns, assisted chambers of commerce in promotional programs, and was responsible for maintaining Welcome Stations. In 1996, when the Department of Commerce was abolished, some of its tourism functions were transferred to the new Office of Tourism, Trade, and Economic Development in the Governor's Office. Other functions were privatized under the new Florida Tourism Industry Marketing Corp.
