Alabama Residents and Groups Support Gulf Coast; Group Meetings and Family Fun Continue at Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort
DESTIN, FL, June 10 /PRNewswire/ - More than 10 Alabama professional groups and associations are expected to come to the Gulf Coast and Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, to hold successful meetings here in the next two weeks, it was announced today.
Group meetings and family getaways at Sandestin have long been a tradition here. The recent events in the Gulf of Mexico and the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill appear not to be curbing plans for thousands of Alabama residents coming to the Destin, Florida area and the Beaches of South Walton. Comments from guests and group leaders include:
"Our attendance is up this year, says Ms. Teri Dingler of the Alabama Society of Otolaryngology, whose group is arriving Friday. "Members sent around an email listing of local restaurants and look forward to dining on fresh seafood. Our members are excited, not fearful."
"Before arriving, I loved watching the beach cam" (www.sandestin.com/beachcam).
"We arrived yesterday and there are just as many people here as the past," said Ms. Melissa Williford of the AL Veterinary Association, a group that is currently meeting at Sandestin.
According to Randal Ward, CAE, executive director of the Automotive Aftermarket Association of the Southeast, there is no difference in our experience this year from years past. "Last night I was in the Village and experienced lots of people enjoying themselves. Sandestin has so much to offer from the Beach to the Bay. Our members enjoy all of the major activities here at the resort. The golf courses are beautiful, the Bay is gorgeous and the Beach is open. It is time for us to stand up and support those on this beautiful coast, Sandestin and our partnership."
In addition to these comments, Sandestin is receiving other words of support from guests across the country. "Nothing is going to prevent us from visiting Sandestin for our 24th straight year," said Sandestin guest Bruce Morris. Another fan, Jay Boykin, said, "We're coming no matter what. Your amenities are important to us."
