FLYING IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN DRIVING TO FLORIDA
For decades people living in Vision Airlines' focus cities have been vacationing and retiring along the Emerald Coast. "Because there has never been affordable air travel to Destin-Fort Walton Beach, families have had to endure grueling drives to get to Florida's gulf coast says," COO, David Meers. "That all changes with the launch of our inaugural Florida flights." Vision Airlines received warm welcomes and great support on the first few inaugural flights this past weekend. More flights will continue to launch over the next week but the first group of passengers were eager to have an affordable travel option that not only saved time, but money as well.
On average, Vision Airlines' normal one-way fares to Florida are $89 - $99.
REVITALIZE EMERALD COAST ECONOMY
Vision Airlines is expected to play a pivotal role in revitalizing Florida's Emerald Coast tourism industry.
Florida Governor Rick Scott forecasts that Vision Airlines will generate approximately 4,000 new jobs and will help fill the area's tens of thousands of hotel rooms, many of which remained vacant during the 2010 tourist season, due to the oil spill.
"Our beaches are beautiful and the water has never been better," says Mark Bellinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Emerald Coast Convention and Visitors' Bureau. "Despite limited environmental impact, tourists avoided the gulf coast altogether in 2010 due to negative publicity received from national media outlets."
The Governor and local tourism officials encourage tourists to see for themselves that Florida's Emerald Coast beaches are still sugary-white and the water is still crystal clear.
