Gov. Charlie Crist announced Monday that BP's CEO Tony Hayward has agreed to pay the state $25 million for a national tourism ad campaign. The cash will be in addition to the $25 million the state has already received.

“As one of the world’s favorite travel destinations, we will use every marketing resource available to spread the word that Florida’s beaches are clean, our fish are biting, and the Sunshine State is open for business,” Crist said.
