This fall, the Franklin County Tourist Development Council (FCTDC) will join
Visit Florida in promoting the first in what it hopes will be a continuing
series of Franklin County-based Natural Florida Getaways at each of the five
State Welcome Centers. The first promotional campaign, scheduled to run
September through October at each State Welcome Center, is intended to boost
visitor interest in our area during the offseason. Visit Florida officials
say it is expected to be seen by an estimated 300,000 visitors during the
two months.
The first Getaway campaign will feature St. George Island - one of Franklin
County's premiere natural beaches. Additional campaigns are being developed
for Apalachicola, Carrabelle and Alligator Point.
If you are a Franklin County lodging provider, restaurant or tourism-related
activity business (such as fishing charter, eco-tour, kayak rental, etc) you
can participate in this promotion by donating lodging, meals and activities.
In return, your business name will be prominently displayed in the highly
visible campaign materials at each welcome center. The TDC is currently
accepting lodging donations of 2-3 nights from accommodations on or near the
beach, 1 meal donation from an area restaurant and one coupon for a getaway
vacation activity. The deadline to submit your lodging, meal or activity
donation is August 3.
How to Submit:
Interested lodging providers, restaurants and tourism-related businesses
should either phone the TDC office (850) 653-8678, or email info@anatural
escape.com with a brief explanation of what your business can donate. A
drawing will be held Aug. 6 to select the accommodation, restaurant activity
for the first Natural Florida Getaway. All donations not selected the first
go-around will be held on file until the next campaign which is tenatively
scheduled for January, 2011.

The TDC will host a Promotional Workshop on August 10, 1:30 at the

to its Small Business Partners.
