A Spring Note To Our Charter Club Owners
From John Wolner, General Manager

In April, our tourist season is winding down from a very busy year in Naples, with hoteliers reporting occupancy levels up from the year prior. Now, if only we can get through the summer months with very little hurricane activity, all will be well!

I recently read an article from a Naples tourism website called Paradise Coast and have provided the text below. I think you will find it very interesting as it relates to our county's tourism in the aftermath of 9/11 and the hurricanes of 04' and 05'.

Bouncing Back From Terrorism & Hurricanes

Naples was hard hit after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and has been slow to recover. The rebound is reflected in the county's bed tax numbers, which were $8.85 million in 2001. The number fell to $8.34 million in 2002, then rose slightly to $8.53 million in 2003.

It wasn't until 2004, however, that a noticeable comeback was seen, with $9.8 million collected in tax dollars. The trend continued in 2005, when the county collected $10 million from those who stayed at area hotels. A significant $13.5 million is expected by year's end, up an astonishing 53% from 2001. "We are back on our feet from 9/11," said Jack Wert, Director of the Collier Visitors Bureau (CVB). "It wasn't until the summer of 2004 that we saw a comeback. Despite the storms in 2005, we did well, and we're now exceeding where we were in 2001."

The industry, however, is still struggling to recover from media hype that has discouraged potential visitors from making travel plans to Florida after eight hurricanes blew through the state over the past two summers. Despite Collier County's resilient recovery from Wilma, negative publicity from Hurricane Katrina has resulted in a loss of business, especially in the meetings and conference market.

"The Hurricanes of 2004 and 2005 have had a lasting effect on Southwest Florida," Wert said. "There is much misinformation in the national and international media about our recovery. Many feel that because we are on the ‘Gulf Coast,' we were damaged by Hurricane Katrina."

As a result of the dip in out-of-state business travelers, the CVB has changed their target marketing strategies and are attempting to attract more Florida residents and in-state meeting groups, as well as groups such as family reunions. Wert says that educating out-of-state event and meeting planners about "Cover Your Meeting" event insurance has also been effective in increasing the numbers of group business travelers.

For 2007, local experts are projecting that tourism will be about equal to last year in terms of visitors and expenditures, with a possible "2% growth in overall economic impact" predicted by the CVB.
