National Seashell Day
Many know Southwest Florida as the Seashell Capital of The World!
From Sanibel to Captiva to Fort Myers Beach, you can find individuals
and families, up early, searching our beaches for the latest harvest
that changes with the tides. To take advantage of this designation and
to bring more guests to our community, the Lee County Visitor &
Convention Bureau (VCB) created National Seashell Day in 2016,
celebrated each June 21. To celebrate this year, the VCB will host an
attempt on Fort Myers Beach to set a Guinness Book of World Records
record for the largest human seashell recreation and they need the help
of at least 856 volunteers the morning of June 21 to do so! “We are so excited about this event,” said Brian Ososky, the VCB
Director of Marketing. “National Seashell Day as a marketing holiday
really took off, from the very first one in 2016, that we had on Captiva
Island with ‘Good Morning, America.’ We monitored social media that
day, and it trended the third highest topic…We followed that last year
with the Travelocity Roaming Gnome making several appearances, as well
as our promotion at the huge consumer travel destination show in New
York City, one of our region’s four largest domestic visitor markets.
Tamara Pigott, the VCB Executive Director, wanted to return this year’s
program to the local area, to include everyone from residents to
visitors, children through seniors, so we started to think about ways to
make that happen.” FULL STORY
Successful Seasonal Tram Service Ends
With Tourism Season in our rearview mirror and Hurricane Season
underway, the debut season of the Fort Myers Beach open air tram service
closed on May 30. “We will end up somewhere around 120,000 riders for
the inaugural year,” said LeeTran Marketing Manager Katie Meckley. “We
were officially at 116,918 riders as of Thursday, May 24, leading into
the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. In season, we exceeded 1,600
passengers a day!” Meckley calls these figures “phenomenal! We have all been pleasantly
surprised by these numbers. LeeTran felt the tram would be popular, but
it far surpassed our expectations. We did not have an initial number in
mind when we began the trams, as we obviously had no prior benchmarks
other than the enclosed trolley riders from the 2017 season, but this is
such a different vehicle, plus the ridership was free, so we think
these numbers are remarkable and are so happy about them.” FULL STORY
