Southwest airlines will soon provide service to Northwest Florida and the local tourist development council hopes that means more visitors for Franklin County. Southwest last week announced its plan to start flying from the new Panama City International Airport when it opens in May 2010. That decision was made in part, thanks to the efforts of a seven county tourism and economic development group, of which the Franklin County Tourist Development Council is a member. On the local level, Franklin County tourist officials have already begun to target airports in both Panama City and Tallahassee outing Franklin County as the best venue for nature-based tourism as well as uncrowded beaches, lighthouses and a variety of historical and cultural attractions." Southwest officials say the airline plans to bring two daily flights from four destinations which makes eight non-stop flights. That's almost 2,000 seats coming into the Northwest Florida region every day.
