Client Review on Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce

Feedback:

I just read today's NY Times article, "In a Florida Party Town, Last Call Leaves a Financial Hangover" By LIZETTE ALVAREZ I am a fan of PCB and the panhandle. My family and I lived in Alabama and Florida cities for about 30 years. As a student many years ago, I totally get the "rite of spring" events that gave me and my classmates time to have fun. And we did! But not like today.I fully support and respect the tightening of various laws that help to protect both the commercial establishments and try to save some of the students from themselves. It was the right thing to do. I also understand the economic impact of losing revenue as a result. On balance, it the changes saved only one life, it has been worth the effort. Not to mention the expense to the city and businesses caused by drunk students destroying property.While the appeal may not be as great, there are millions of people all over the US who would be amazed at what PCB and other towns along the panhandle have to offer. Re-channel marketing dollars to attract people who would love a safe and fun place on the Gulf Coast to relax and enjoy the sun, sand and yes, suds (in moderation)Congratulations!LeRoy TiltCambridge, MA
