Brooksville, FL -- Newton Perry, founder of the world-renowned Weeki Wachee Springs Park and famed Mermaids, was recently inducted into the Florida Tourism Hall of Fame as a Tourism Honor Roll recipient.
The award was presented as part of the opening ceremonies at the 44th?Annual Florida Governor's Conference on Tourism. On hand to receive the award was Delee Perry, one of Newton's daughters who currently resides in Ocala.
Along with his tourism accomplishments, Newt Perry experimented with underwater breathing hoses and invented the method of breathing with free flowing air hoses supplying oxygen from a compressor, rather than swimming with a tank strapped to the back. The air hose gave the appearance that humans could breathe twenty feet underwater on their own.
Created in 2007, the Florida Tourism Honor Roll serves to acknowledge those historical visionaries whose achievements and extraordinary careers significantly impacted the growth of Florida tourism.?
