Our primary goal now is the same as it was then; promoting Perdido Key and Escambia County as a family-oriented vacation destination and remaining active with community involvement. We have been in our new Visitors Center just over one year now and we operate it seven days a week. This year, Destin Architect Group won a Merit Award of Excellence on the design of our Perdido Key fire Station, Community Center and Visitors Center building. We have made many great strides in 2014 including increases in visitors, members and tourism development tax over last year. Marketing tactics moving forward will include increasing shoulder season, international and winter visitors. We got some great media coverage this year by completing a four-year project of incentivized travel with a zero error audit. We also used funding from a tourism promotional grant to install a 403-gallon fish tank which aired on Animal Planet’s national TV show “TANKED” and has increased our visitors already by 50%. We sponsored the florabamahosted Kenny Chesney beach concert this summer and the Perdido Key area received national coverage via CMT. We hosted and supported many festivals and events this year, including our Annual Rosamond Johnson Day, which on the first Saturday each May honors our local Korean War Veteran for which our local beach is named.
