PANAMA CITY BEACH — From the News Herald - The rowdy Spring Break crowds that invade local beaches each March should not be discouraged but better managed, residents and business leaders said Wednesday during a community forum.
Hosted by the Bay County Tourist Development Council, the meeting attended by about 100 people was meant to help plan future TDC marketing plans for Spring Break. Most agreed the college crowds bring in loads of March money but can give the destination a public relations black eye.
Hardly anyone speaking Wednesday wanted to discourage spring breakers, which help make March the third highest money-making month for Bay County tourism. Some of the business representatives said March college visitors become future tourists, and Spring Break acted like a “tourism fish hatchery.”
“These people are creating memories for the rest of their lives,” said John Starling of Campers Inn.
But concerns were raised and data presented Wednesday that Panama City Beach’s close association with Spring Break was perpetuating an image that might harm future business, especially with the looming opening of the new Panama City-Bay County International Airport, set for May 2010.
“I want our public officials to do their jobs and clean this situation up,” Panama City Beach resident Tom Klompts said.
Following the meeting, TDC executive director Dan Rowe said it was doubtful he could recommend another Spring Break/mtvU partnership, given attempts this year by sister station MTV to film drunken revelers. The TDC currently is drawing up its yearly budget and will use Wednesday’s comments to inform future marketing expenditures, he said.
“There is still a lot of work to do, but based on what we know now, I would not recommend it,” he said of the $150,000 spent with mtvU for Spring Break 2009.
Realtor Bill Holt said he has made trips to France and Germany the last few years to test the waters of European perceptions. He has seen television specials there highlighting the rowdiness and police enforcement aspects of Panama City Beach.
“We already have some damage control to do,” he said. Other residents said the binge drinking, infrequent deaths and rapes that occur during Spring Break created negative images of Panama City Beach when they were reported back to the breakers’ home states.
Data presented by TDC consultant Peter Yesawich showed Panama City Beach’s association with Spring Break made it less attractive in some drive markets than other spots, such as Destin or even Gulf Shores, Ala. A survey of Panama City Beach non-college tourists by consultant Walter Klages illustrated that March visitors were less likely to return than those in April, mostly because of an unfavorable Spring Break impression. Hotelier Julie Hilton, in the hospitality business for 42 years, urged fellow businesses to better manage the college crowds that converge on Panama City Beach each spring.
Spring breakers began arriving in large numbers in the 1990s after other Florida destinations such as Fort Lauderdale and Daytona Beach made them feel unwelcome, she said. She learned how to handle the college crowds and now 30 percent of her yearly income comes from the Spring Break period.
“I encourage us to think of responsible management,” she said. “I think we can exist together.”
Businessman Charlie Hilton agreed, saying the current economy was too soft to neglect any potential customers. “If you are thinking about getting rid of anything, you are out of your mind,” he said.

Panama City Beach - Pro Volleyball Olympic Gold Medalist
Panama City Beach - The AVP is preparing to start a Spring Break tradition of its own this year in Panama City Beach, Florida. The AVP now stands alone as the only pro beach volleyball tour in the country.
Known to many as Spring Break Capital of the World, PCB plays host to hundreds of thousands of college students each year, who descend on the Florida coast to soak up the surf and sand, and party on the beach. Along with the endless sea of Spring Breakers, also come some of the biggest names in Spring Break entertainment, including MTV, who has called Panama City Beach its Spring Break home for several years.
This year, the AVP plans on making its own name for itself in Spring Break entertainment, as it will pack up the Southern California beach party atmosphere found on the AVP Crocs Tour and bring it to Panama City Beach for the first event of the 2009 season.
AVP will head to Panama Beach City on March 7 to start its three week Spring Break experience. The first two weeks of Spring Break will include numerous promotions and events geared towards Spring Breakers, and hosted by the AVP’s official sponsors, including, Bud Light, Crocs, Gatorade, Naked Juice, and Nature Valley, among others.
The third week of the AVP’s Spring Break will start off with the first ever Collegiate Beach Challenge. Starting on Tuesday, March 24, college students from across the country will have the chance to participate in a two day four-on-four beach volleyball tournament. There will be a men’s, women’s and coed division, each competing for cash prizes. Also at stake for the winning teams will be the unique opportunity to move on to a final where they will face a team of two AVP Pros.
The main event of AVP’s Spring Break will come at the end of week three, with the AVP Crocs Tour Panama City Beach Open. In what will serve as the 2009 season-opening event, the AVP Crocs Tour will showcase some of the best beach volleyball players in the world, including 2008 Olympic Gold Medalists, Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers. A one-day qualifier will begin on Friday morning followed by a live band in the evening. Men’s and women’s main draw action will start on Saturday morning with the finals scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The AVP Crocs Tour event will take place directly in front of Sharky’s Beach Front Restaurant & Tiki Bar, located in the heart of Panama City Beach. In an attempt to revert back to beach volleyball's beginnings, six of the courts will be set up in “old school” style. This will include minimal bleacher seating, allowing plenty of room for beach-goers to throw down their towels and mingle, while fully enjoying the beach party atmosphere of Spring Break.
If you are in PCB during March take some time to enjoy the AVP beach volleyball action.
