SunStream Travel Blog
Welcome! As employees of SunStream and residents of Southwest Florida, we thought this blog would be an excellent opportunity to share what we love about living here with our guests. Enjoy!
You don’t have to believe the stories of rogues, rascals, pirates, captive damsels and hidden treasure chests to enjoy the magic of southwest Florida’s Lover’s Key. Squeezed between the popular island vacation destination of Fort Myers Beach and the quiet upscale beach community of Bonita Beach, it’s a nature preserve in an unlikely place, with a colorful and embellished history.
If you’re not paying attention, you’ll drive right by Lover’s Key State Park without noticing the sign that marks its entrance. But an increasing number of folks are discovering the park and stopping by for a closer look, especially since the park was featured in a Travel Channel special on Florida’s Best Beaches. (more…)
FORT MYERS BEACH, FLORIDA – May 19, 2009 – SunStream Hotels & Resorts, a portfolio of unique condominium resorts in Southwest Florida, is pleased to support VISIT FLORIDA®’S “Share a Little Sunshine” campaign. Share a Little Sunshine is a statewide, resident-driven, tourism industry-inspired, grassroots effort with the potential to infuse much needed revenue into Florida’s economy. The campaign includes viral videos and an e-vite that empowers Florida residents to do their part in helping Florida’s economy by getting back to what matters most – spending time with friends and family.
All you have to do is visit ShareaLittleSunshine.org, watch a rally video featuring everyday Floridians promoting their own “Share a Little Sunshine” message and then select one of the three free video invitations (family, friends, and romance) and email it to friends and family. In less than two minutes, Florida residents can help the state we love so much. And as a special thank you, those who send invitations will be entered to win one of 12 great Florida getaways.
Tourism has been key in sustaining Florida’s economic livelihood for years, with touristic expenditures generating 19 percent of our total state revenue last year. With state government, businesses and everyday Floridians in clear need of a strong solution to the current economic crisis, tourism is a viable solution that can generate significant dollars – but visitors don’t just show up; it takes experienced marketing to bring them here.
VISIT FLORIDA and Florida’s tourism industry partners have a track record of successfully marketing our state as a prime tourist destination, but now they need your help.
As Florida experiences staggering budget cuts, increasing unemployment rates and an economic recession, we must capitalize on our state’s strongest resources for creating revenue and jobs. The reality is that the global travel business is hugely competitive and Florida’s tourism industry must hang on to its piece of the pie. Just last year, VISIT FLORIDA’s marketing efforts directly attracted 12.5 million visitors – and $9.75 billion in tourism spending to Florida. Losing this resource would be a devastating blow.
As our state faces a budget shortfall this session, lawmakers have the opportunity to view VISIT FLORIDA as part of the budget solution so that we continue to bring visitors to the Sunshine State.
Florida’s tourism industry supports Governor Crist’s recommendation to sustain public funding for VISIT FLORIDA in FY 2009 – 2010. We must continue to invest in tourism marketing to bring visitors to our state and generate additional revenue.
The Florida tourism industry accounts for:
$65.5 billion in travel spending
$3.9 billion in sales tax collections
$513 million in TDC tax collections
991,300 Floridians directly employed in travel related jobs
The Partnership for Florida’s Tourism needs you to visit the Capitol and speak with Legislators about why VISIT FLORIDA and tourism marketing are integral to our state. Share your story – tell how tourism affects your business and your community. Florida lawmakers need to hear from you. To take action, please visit www.FloridasTourismCounts.org.
