Tuesday BONUS post

BP helps tourists come back to Navarre and other Gulf Beaches by providing accommodations vouchers for 50% off lodging.  for more information go to http://www.visitnavarrebeach.com/ for limitations, booking dates, and businesses supporting this offer.
=======
"$551,000 from BP for hotel vouchers


The Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Council received an additional $551,000 from BP, said council executive director Kate Wilkes. Most of that money will be used to fund a voucher program to lure tourists to Santa Rosa County.

"If a bed tax collector rents a unit, we will reimburse them for 50 percent of the rent. It could change," Wilkes said. "We have to have it spent by Sept. 18."
The program is open to all bed-tax collectors, including hotels, motels, condominiums and campground.
"We're going (to use some of the money) to advertise it, too," she said. "Most (advertising) will be Internet, because we can change that out immediately, and radio commercials."
Individual accommodations may also promote the program, she said.
Wilkes expects the details of the voucher program to be finalized by the end of the week.
Before this allocation, Santa Rosa had received $1 million from BP. All of that has been used for marketing."
