TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) - Under Gov. Rick Scott's $79.3 billion budget proposal released Monday in Jacksonville, the state's tourism-marketing arm would receive a boost of $6 million from the current budget.

The proposal comes amid Scott's drive for Florida to attract 100 million visitors in a single calendar year.

Under his proposal, Visit Florida would receive $80 million during the fiscal year that starts July 1, of which $30 million would be non-recurring or one-time funds for its marketing efforts.

State lawmakers will craft a final budget during the 2016 legislative session, which begins in January.

Scott announced last week that Florida saw a record 79.1 million tourists in the first nine months of the year, with the tourism industry now accounting for 1.195 million jobs, up 5.2 percent from a year earlier.
