Panama City Beach – TDC Fall Ad Campaign You can Help!

Panama City Beach – The Tourist Development Commission is trying to determine the focus of the fall / winter ad campaign.

I would like to get your ideas for ad themes as well as the best place to run the ads. Most of you come to our condos through VRBO.

How do you decide on Panama City Beach?

What would help someone decide on Panama City Beach instead of Destin or Gulf Shores?
I am sure that the people reading this blog have lots to offer.

How do we reach visitors interested in a fall break beach trip to PCB?

How do we attract families with kids that are not in school?

How do we attract adults with no kids that are interested in a fall beach vacation?

I will submit your ideas to the TDC.

All comments are appreciated.

Bay County TDC to Meet Today

The Bay County Tourist Development Council (the TDC) will host a long-term strategic planning session today at the Edgewater Beach Resort convention center at 520 Beckrich Road. The meeting will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is open to the public.
The TDC meeting comes on the heels of a meeting yesterday of more than 100 local government representatives and members of the Beach tourism industry, Peter Yesawich, CEO of the Orlando-based marketing firm Ypartnership, said four new trends in leisure travel are redefining how hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions can succeed in an ever-more competitive environment.

The trends are:

1. Tourism via the internet – ever expanding use of the web to book travel
2. Changing social values – trend to want to spend more time with family and friends
3. Vigilante consumers – tourists expect to bargain and receive discounts
4. Demographic changes – changes to market to “baby boomers”

Yesawich indicated that the opening of the new Panama City Airport would cause a dramatic increase in tourism in the area.
