ZOMWE MUNGACHITE PA NKHANIYI:

travel agents who sold a trip originating in Florida to a Florida consumer to any of the five countries listed would have been forced to pay an annual registration fee of between $1,000 and $2,500 and required to post a performance bond, ranging from $100,000 and $250,000.
But the right and power to impose such sanctions, and to establish foreign policy, remains, under our Federal Constitution, solely within the exclusive domain of the Congress of the United States and the President, and not within the aegis of the State of Florida under the guise of consumer protection.
Gold endorsed ASTA’s view that the expansive reach of this law could ultimately affect travel to countries other than Cuba, rejecting the claim that this law was based on a desire to protect consumers and that the Florida law would punish and interfere with business.
