Panama City Beach Named Top 5 Bargain Destinations By USA Today
By admin | February 19, 2010
It wasn’t to long ago that our area was named one of the Top 10 Destinations of 2010. It was very nice to know we’re a sought after area, but it’s this weeks news that makes a statement in today’s economy.
In a recent article from USA Today, five destinations around the world were chosen as great places to visit on a budget. Among the “bargain destinations” were Jamaica, Toronto, Hawaii and Gatlinburg. Who was the fifth? I’ll let you guess:
Though it hasn’t moved an inch, Panama City Beach is about to seem a whole lot closer to most travelers. This spring, the Florida panhandle beach city will welcome not just a brand-new airport but service from low-cost giant Southwest.
The Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is gearing up to open in May, and Southwest has announced daily service between Panama City Beach and Baltimore/Washington, Houston, Nashville, and Orlando starting May 23. Airfares start at $49 each way from Orlando, and $69 each way from the other cities. Delta will connect Panama City with Atlanta and Memphis.
Already known as an affordable beach destination, the major boost in accessibility will put this bargain vacation city within reach of more people. When you’re comparing prices on accommodations, be sure to check vacation rentals in addition to traditional hotel and resort options. Look for free nights, spring specials, and other sales on lodging by entering your vacation date on the Panama City Beach tourism website.
