The concerns center on the concessions, bathrooms and parking. Measures will be taken to address the concerns. B. Beach Bus Presentation Ms. Arnold presented the PowerPoint “2018 – 2019 Beach Bus” highlighting: 4.B.1.a Packet Pg. 6 Attachment: June 24 (9650 : June 24, 2019 TDC Meeting Minutes) June 24, 2019 3 • The service ran from November – April (92 days) with 2 Routes utilizing one bus each for a total of 6,737 passengers. • The ridership increased dramatically over the previous 2 years due to changes in routes and marketing endeavors. • Route 1 was more popular with 80 percent of the riders utilizing the service. • The 3 year matching grant from the State expired in 2019 and due to financial constraints, the second route on the south end will be eliminated and the number of buses reduced from 2 to 1. • Staff continues to seek marketing support from the TDC During Council discussion, the following was noted: • Although the ridership is low in November and December, past years’ events (2017 and 2018) experienced during the timeframe potentially impacted demand (Hurricane Irma and Red Tide outbreaks). • The service during this period will continue to determine if trends change and to ensure a consistent product is available in the marketplace given historically the beaches experience a high volume of use in November and December. • Customer surveys are available for feedback via a hanging QR tag on the handrails. Other feedback is garnered by bus drivers, staff conversations with users or a user contacting staff directly with recommendations. • The service is marketed via hotel TV broadcasts, digital ads, bus wrappings and driver interaction with the public. • Parking is an issue for the users (especially for Route 2 on the south end) and Staff continues to seek partnerships with local business for the use of facilities to enhance the opportunities for those who wish to use the service. Mr. Wert noted: • PT&NE Staff should apply for any applicable TDC funding to help promote the service. • Consideration should be given to adding questions to their survey to determine if those using the service are local residents or tourists. • It would be beneficial to develop a permanent location for the QR code for those interested in providing feedback. 6.

Legal (9563 : Amendments 19CO2 19CO3) 07/29/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve First Amendment to Agreement #17-7229-WV, “Sports Facilities Assessment,” with Hunden Strategic Partners, Inc., and make a finding that this expenditure promote tourism. OBJECTIVE: To approve an Amendment to an existing Agreement to allow for consultant work in the phasing of the design, build and operations of the recently approved Collier County Sports Complex. CONSIDERATIONS: On October 10, 2017 (Agenda Item 16.F.7), the County approved Agreement #17-7229-WV (the “Agreement”) with Hunden Strategic Partners, Inc. (the “Consultant”), to perform consultant work in the phasing of the design, build and operations of the Collier County Sports Complex for the annual lump sum amount of $34,500, reimbursable upon completion of services upon receipt of signed estimates and accompanying invoices. The attached First Amendment to the Agreement increases the total annual expenditure for consulting services per County Fiscal Year to $35,500. In addition, the Amendment adds an additional consulting position of Principal Strategist (at an hourly rate of $285) and five dollar an hour increases to each of the Consultant’s previously approved personnel classifications. The addition of the Principal Analyst position is for Hunden president, Rob Hunden; who has provided most of the work on the County’s behalf. Mr. Hunden’s position and hourly rate was in the Consultant’s proposal but was inadvertently left off the list of hourly rates attached to the current contract. The slight increase in rates for the other positions reflect the rates that Hunden is currently charging other clients for similar work. Based on staff’s due diligence, by comparing rates charged by other firms performing similar work, staff find these increases justified. Additionally, the work the Consultant has provided for the County to date is an integral part of the historical data staff is using for all the planning and design for the Collier County Sports Complex. It is in the best interest of the Co unty to continue working with the Consultant at these slightly increased hourly rates to provide oversight on this important construction project. The Consultant will perform tasks on an as needed basis upon approval of each project scope under the terms of this agreement and will present its findings as needed to County Staff, who will in turn report those findings to the County Commission. FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this additional scope of consulting services by Hunden Strategic Partners of up to $35,500 is in the BCC requested Tourism Division FY 20 budget in Fund 184, Contractual Services. This amount reflects a 3% increase on hourly rates for Hunden staff for this service. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan with this Executive Summary. ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: The Tourist Development Council recommended approval of this item 8-0 at the September 24, 2018 meeting. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for Board approval.-SRT RECOMMENDATION: To approve the First Amendment to Contract #17-7229-WV Sports Facilities Assessment with Hunden Strategic Partners, Inc., authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Amendment and make a finding that this expenditure promote tourism.

CONSIDERATIONS: The financial position of all funds that the Tourist Development Council (TDC) oversees is reviewed on a quarterly basis in accordance with County Ordinance 92-60, as amended. The attached report is presented in a budget to actual format. This format is derived from the County’s SAP financial accounting system. The FY 19 third quarter report (through June 30, 2 019) is provided in a budget to actual format and includes the nine TDC funds. The first section of the report provides summarized reporting with a high -level roll-up of TDT funds revenue and expenditures. Reported TDT revenue includes revenue recorded through June 30, 2019 equating to the monthly TDT revenue summary report dated May 31, 2019. The next section of the report provides a more detailed fund by fund comparison of revenues and exp enses, The third section provides capital project reporting. This section is organized by fund (Beach Park Facilities (183), Beach Renourishment (195) & TDC Capital Project (758)) with a project orientation. The final section of the report provides commitment item detail reporting. Beach Engineering and Project Management Fund (185), TDC Program Management Fund (194) and Museum Fund (198) all have payroll budgets that are expended in a regular monthly pattern. The Fund (184) budget, TDC Marketing and Promotions, is substantially encumbered and looks to be on track to expend 90% of its amended budget. Fund (196), the TDC Catastrophe Recovery Fund, by policy provides a $1,500,000 emergency promotion reserve. As part of the Post Red Tide recovery effort the Board authorized the expenditure of $250,000 for promotion and advertising efforts to expedite tourism recovery. Capital project funds (183, 195 and 758) do not necessarily expend funds in a regular periodic pattern. These funds are best evaluated on a project-by-project basis focusing on project cycle milestones and achieving individual project schedules. The FY 19 Tourist Development Tax (TDT) revenue budget is $27,926,600. Through the reporting period TDT collections are almost 6% ahead of budget. Carry forward (cash beginning balance) is included in the actual revenue column for each fund. Overall, financial activity through the third quarter of FY 19 is reasonably consistent with the approved budget for the Tourism Division. FISCAL IMPACT: This item is for review and comment with no financial impact. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests the TDC review the Third Quarter FY 19 Financial report. This item is for information only.

I have also had quite a bit of interest from Peru and Ecuador which are now emerging markets for the destination. NMECVB also hosted two successful events at IPW. One small reception in conjunction with Discover the Palm Beaches and a larger scale event in partnership with Visit Florida and the southwest of FL CVB´s. Both were very well received and well attended. IAGTO – Austin, TX June 23 – 26, 2019 I attended this show for our UK office once again as Oonagh had a conflict. The show had too many suppliers for the number of buyers this year which resulted in fewer appointments than last year for us. Followed up with FlyWorldGolf and he is successfully selling our destination. Also, in attendance were the Naples Beach Hotel and the Ritz Carlton Naples. Suggest we do this show every other year. FAM Trips LaPlace / Latam Argentina FAM – June 6 – 9, 2019 Comments: This is by far one of the best groups we have had in the destination. This was a group of 10 top selling travel agents brought to us by the tour operator LaPlace. This operator is based in Córdoba which is the second strongest market from Argentina coming to our destination. During the visit the group booked several clients to the 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 261 Attachment: July TDC Staff Reports-June Activity (9658 : Tourism Staff Reports) destination and continue to do so. We have been preparing welcome bags to these clients as a bonus for this tour operator and as well as to the tour operator Mediterranea who was here last June with her top booking travel agents. Visit Florida – French Tour Operator FAM – June 24 – 26, 2019 Comments: The French luxury market is growing in the Naples area, so we decided to jump on this last-minute request from Visit Florida FAM as it´s important to our partners. It was a group of six luxury tour operators that landed in Tampa, visited the west coast of FL and flew out of Miami. This is exactly what we as the West Coast of Florida Coalition is promoting. Michelle Pirre hosted the group as I was at IAGTO. Both FAM requests came directly from the Tour Operators to us. They sought us out as they are getting requests for our area and need to experience it first hand to sell it better. Sales Call – Majestic Reception Tour Operator – June 20, 2019 Liz Johnson with LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort and I went to Miami to visit this receptive tour operator because during the Argentina FAM, Juan Manuel with LaPlace indicated that they use Majestic and that he is friends with Diego the owner. LaPlaya was the host hotel of the FAM and the group would like to start selling it. Majestic and LaPlaya are now doing a special promotion for LaPlace so we should see the numbers increase even more! West Coast of Florida Coalition Update: We have had two conference calls (June 27 and July 10) to start formulating our 2020 Marketing Plan as a coalition. We will be targeting Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Spain and possibly Costa Rica, Peru and Ecuador. Next call scheduled for July 31, 2019 to continue planning out the year.

The event featured engaging and interactive education sessions and networking opportunities gallore. There were over 200 corporate and incentive buyers in attendance, 65% of whom were VP and above and key decision makers from companies like LPL Financial, Wells Fargo, FedEx. The top incentive houses were also in attendance including Maritz, BI Worldwide, Meetings & Incentives WW, Motivaction, One10, BCD Meetings & Incentives, CWT Meetings & Events, Performance Strategies, ITA Group, Motivation Excellence and TRU Incentives among others. This is an event we would highly recommend repeating as it revolves more around relationship building over the 4 days of the event. Now the work begins with follow ups with each individual to continue uncovering the leads and RFPs for the destination. We made some great connections and are contacting each buyer and company individually instead of mass eblasts or marketing efforts and anticipate to generate business opportunities.

It is a national showcase of America, where U.S. travel exhibitors connect with travel buyers and media from more than 70 countries to promote their product, negotiate future business and build relationships with a total of over 6,000 delegates. OMMAC worked with the CVB in the months prior to IPW to recommend with which UK, Irish and French companies meetings should be held at IPW 2019. We reviewed those who had signed up for the event and added in a few who weren’t on the list but we believe will attend, providing a total of 52 appointment suggestions. OMMAC then represented Florida’s Paradise Coast in Anaheim, hosting more than 35 individual meetings with key trade partners and selected media contacts, including markets outside UK & Ireland. Before the show, OMMAC had liaised with some of the key UK tour operators to establish how the Paradise Coast was performing in the market – IPW provides an excellent opportunity to meet our clients and received further updates. We held positive meetings about product development and marketing, as well as how best to maintain and improve visitor numbers moving forward. Additional activity included: Setting up booth prior to CVB colleagues arriving and checking the booth again with J. Wert. Attending the Visit USA UK & Ireland event on behalf of the CVB; attending the two co-hosted events on the open evening and ensuring we networked with potential business partners for future business.

MARKET UPDATE: UK visitor numbers to US rise to 4.7 million Visitor numbers from the UK to the US increased to 4.7 million in 2018, appearing to defy predictions of a downturn prompted in part by policies introduced by the Trump administration. The year-on-year increase followed a 2% dip to 4.48 million in 2017, and is still short of the 2015 figure, when 4.9 million UK visitors represented an 18% year-on-year increase. However, figures from the US National Travel and Tourism Office show the 2018 figure is almost a million higher than in 2012, when 3.76 million UK visitors crossed the Atlantic, and puts the UK more than a million visitors ahead of the next largest overseas market, Japan at 3.5 million. Thomas Cook Airlines to fly to Florida year-round Thomas Cook Airlines will offer year-round flights from the UK to Florida with the introduction of new services between Manchester and Orlando early next year The new flights to Orlando will operate every Tuesday and Sunday from January to March 2020. Cook will offer two cabins on these flights with economy seats offering a seat pitch of 31 inches and premium seats with a 35-inch pitch. US dominates long-haul flight bookings for summer 2019 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 274 Attachment: July TDC Staff Reports-June Activity (9658 : Tourism Staff Reports) Travelport’s data showed there were 320,000 advance flight bookings to the US for travel between 28 June and 8 September 2019, well ahead of second-placed India with just under 87,000 over the same period. The large gap between the two figures shows how popular the US is with UK tourists. The destination to see the largest year-on-year rise was China with 29,900 bookings, up by 13% on the same period in 2018. South Africa also saw a 7% rise year-on-year to 29,600 bookings from the UK. More Brits to holiday in UK this year 2019 is set to be the strongest year so far for holidaying at home, according to research by Travelodge (UK budget hotel group). This summer, 69% of Britons will take their annual summer holiday in the UK up from 57% last year. The average holiday this year will last for eight days, according to Travelodge Holiday Index. British holidaymakers are spending more on their summer break, at an average of £874. This is the highest spend since Travelodge started its annual holiday index in 2011 when the average spend was £399.28. This research is not a true reflection on international travel but it does indicate a section of the market which is good to be aware of, but it is not Paradise Coast‘s target market. MARKETING/SALES/PROJECTS & ACTIVITIES: USAirtours / Travelplanners OMMAC have continued to work on a co-op campaign, with American specialist tour operator USAirtours, who offer customers the opportunity to buy a personalised tailor made holiday through one of their appointed travel agencies.

Paradise Coast Trade E-Newsletter OMMAC distributed a trade E-Newsletter to over 120 key tour operators as well as select trade media titles, updating them on the latest news from Florida’s Paradise Coast. The aim was to produce an informative newsletter with a clean, professional look and feel. The content for the newsletter was extracted and adapted from the news press release that we received from the CVB for the Visit Florida Media Mission in March. Included in the newsletter were updates on local industry partners, including hotels and restaurants, as well as attraction updates such as key news from Naples Pier and the Naples Princess.

You are holding the results of Tourism Marketing Today’s first redesign since our inaugural issue in January 2005. (For a trip down memory lane, see page 6 for a clip of this newsletter.) While your association has a new name and the newsletter has a new look, we still have some old-school work to do. Legislative Session 2020 begins with committee weeks in September. You’ll begin to see bills filed before football season begins. Some lawmakers have been quick to claim that visitors would come to Florida without tourism promotion. This summer, Destinations Florida will work with you to highlight the ways It took an extra day, but the 2019 Regular Session officially ended on Saturday, May 4, at 2:03 p.m. No matter how any individual bill fared, the constant advocacy by all FADMO (now Destinations Florida or DF) members and supporters of Florida’s tourism industry was critical to our success this session. It’s important to look at the big picture, and thanks to LobbyTools, someone else keeps track of the stats for us. So, while we know DF has been narrowly focused on a handful of issues, here are some fun stats to give you a better perspective of what this session was like: 2019 Legislative Statistics • 3,571 bills and proposed com- mittee bills filed • 2,997 amendments filed • 3,765 votes taken • 40 floor sessions • 196 bills passed both chambers • Number of bills or budget proj- ects vetoed by the governor: TBD So, that’s the big picture, and here are the issues most relevant to DF: VISIT FLORIDA (Reauthorized) Obviously, this was our biggest issue this session and, as we’re sure you have already heard, VISIT FLORIDA was reauthorized by the Legislature. SESSION 2019 continues on pg. 2ANOTHER DAY continues on pg. 5 Joined by Senate President Bill Galvano, Governor Ron DeSantis and Lt. Governor Jeanette Nuñez, House Speaker Jose Oliva offers remarks on the accomplishments of the legislative session. Photo: Florida House of Representatives 12.A.1 Packet Pg. 328 Attachment: Detailed Staff Reports (9663 : Detailed Staff Reports) SESSION 2019 continued from pg. 1 2 The language was added during the Budget Conference to a piece of legislation that is linked to the General Appropriation Act. It’s called the implementing bill and its purpose is to do exactly what the name implies, to implement the budget issues contained in the General Appropriations Act. A key fact to remember, though, is that the General Appropriations Act is only for the next fiscal year; therefore, issues contained within the implementing bill are only valid for the next fiscal year. The bill states: 288.1226 Florida Tourism Industry Marketing Corporation; use of property; board of directors; duties; audit.— (14) REPEAL.—This section is repealed July 1, 2020 October 1, 2019, unless reviewed and saved from repeal by the Legislature. The Budget Tied in with the VISIT FLORIDA legislation is the allocation of funds to VISIT FLORIDA in the 2019-20 fiscal year. While the House held out for a long time on reauthorizing and funding VISIT FLORIDA, the budget debate ultimately ended with what the Senate initially offered: $50 million. 2328 SPECIAL CATEGORIES GRANTS AND AIDS - VISIT FLORIDA FROM STATE ECONOMIC ENHANCEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT TRUST FUND . . . 26,000,000 FROM TOURISM PROMOTIONAL TRUST FUND . . . 24,000,000 This is a decrease of $26 million from the past three years and the lowest funding since the 2011-12 fiscal year: • 2018-19 $76,000,000 • 2017-18 $76,000,000 • 2016-17 $76,000,000 • 2015-16 $74,000,000 • 2014-15 $74,000,000 • 2013-14 $63,500,000 • 2012-13 $54,000,000 • 2011-12 $34,899,209 • 2010-11 $26,647,961 In short, this session was the warmup, and everyone did a great job. We have even more work to do to support VISIT FLORIDA during the 2020 Legislative Session. Vacation Rentals (Died) The vacation rentals debate continued this session, but in the end nothing changed. While six vacation rentals- related bills were filed, only two gained traction and from that only the House bill was heard in committee. SB 824 by Diaz (R-Hialeah Gardens) and HB 987 by J. Grant (R-Tampa) were nearly identical bills and swung the pendulum toward the vacation rental industry and away from local government regulation. After much debate in each committee, the House bill did make it to the floor but was never heard. The Senate bill was placed on an agenda twice but never heard in committee, which is usually a good sign that the votes weren’t there to pass it. Much like the VISIT FLORIDA debate, we think you can definitely plan on seeing this issue again in 2020. Tourist Development Councils (Died) This unique bill regarding TDTs passed two of three committees in the Senate before being withdrawn. SB 1708 by Rouson (D-St. Petersburg) authorized certain counties to establish multiple TDCs. It states: (4) ORDINANCE LEVY TAX; PROCEDURE.— (f) Notwithstanding any other law, a county with a population of 900,000 or more, according to the last decennial census, may adopt a resolution that establishes and appoints members of more than one tourist development council upon a finding that more than one tourist development council best serves that county’s tourism industry needs. Upon the adoption of such resolution, the county is not required to organize its tourist development councils in accordance with the requirements of membership composition in paragraph (e). A House bill on this subject was never filed. Sports Stadium Funding Repeals (Died) Much like in past years, the House passed a sports stadium bill, but it failed to pass in the Senate. HB 791 relating to Sports Franchises and Facilities by Avila (R-Hialeah) • Deleted provisions authorizing counties to impose specified taxes to pay debt ser- vice on bonds related to sports facilities • Prohibited a county from leasing speci- fied professional sports franchise facilities • Prohibited the lease of public lands for certain purposes related to sports fran- chises and their facilities • Required the lease of a facility on public lands for certain purposes to be at fair market value • Required a sports franchise to repay specified debt incurred by local govern- ment related to construction of facilities Unlike other bills relating to sports stadiums, this bill also repealed 288.11631, F.S., the retention of the Major League Baseball spring training baseball franchises statute. There was a related bill in the Senate, SB 414 relating to Sports Development by Lee (R-Brandon), but it didn’t impact the spring training baseball statute. SB 414 unanimously passed two committees but was never put on the agenda for its final stop, and the Senate never considered the House bill.

SB 7014 Relating to Government Accountability was sponsored by the Senate Governmental Oversight & Accountability Committee, which is chaired by Senator Hooper (R-Clearwater). The bill is an omnibus government accountability bill. One of the provisions of the bill that might have an impact on DF members is the addition of tourist development council and county tourism promotion agency to the definition of local governmental entity, as used in the statute. This bill unanimously passed both chambers, and Governor DeSantis signed it on April 26. TDT Expansion (Died) SB 726 relating to Tourist Development Tax by Stewart (D-Orlando) was the only bill that sought to expand the uses of the Tourist Development Tax. It never moved. It authorized counties that are imposing the tax to use the tax revenues to promote or incentivize film or television productions in this state. The bill obligated such counties to require certain productions to include a specified statement in the production’s credits. 125.0104 Tourist development tax; procedure for levying; authorized uses; referendum; enforcement. — 7. To promote or incentivize film or television productions in this state. As used in this subparagraph, the term “production” has the same meaning as provided in s. 288.1254(1). If tax revenues are used for a production, the county must require that the production include in its credits the statement “Created in Florida” or “Filmed in Florida,” as applicable. A House bill was never filed. What’s Next? The 2020 Regular Session dates are “early” and convene on Tuesday, January 14, and conclude on March 13. Committees will meet September through December, so the process will begin all over again in a few short months. It should also be noted that when the legislators return to Tallahassee this fall, their offices, their committees and their roles are unlikely to change. So, not only will the 2020 Session start soon, but you can bet that legislation will also move more quickly than it did in the 2019 Session. Please stay engaged with your delegation members this summer. Strive to know each of them personally and to educate them on the issues that are important to the tourism industry. Advocacy for the 2020 Session starts today. 12.A.1 Packet Pg. 331 Attachment: Detailed Staff Reports (9663 : Detailed Staff Reports) GMCVB Welcomes New Sales Director The Greater Miami CVB has appointed Debra Lee director of sales for the Southeast, Southwest, West and Caribbean markets.

Which of your marketing efforts are focused on international travelers, yield, increasing off-season business, recovery following an environmental crisis or natural disaster, sports groups and/or meeting sales? None of this would happen without you. Help us tell your story. In years past we’ve benefited from a positive outlook on government getting involved in “economic development” activities. Today, some individuals within the Florida Legislature would prefer to eliminate all of those activities. Some are making the case that tourism businesses already do marketing, so there’s no role for government. Applying that thinking, I suppose because businesses pave their driveways, those businesses would fill the gaps to build roads, bridges and highways if the state stopped funding the Department of Transportation. It’s important to demonstrate that your marketing efforts are critical functions that couldn’t possibly happen without local government’s coordination and support. We are proud to be part of the team to help you tell your story and get the support of lawmakers in the State Capitol to help you market your community.

As deputy director of tourism and film commissioner for Florida’s Space Coast Office of Tourism, Bonnie King ends a three-decades-long career in the tourism business. King will retire on June 30, 2019. In her roles over the years, she has served and assisted with marketing and public relations; tour and travel; and wore the hat of film commissioner, promoting the area as a destination for film and TV productions. She will leave the Office of Tourism after successfully seeing that the Space Coast has been selected as the location for the new TV show The Right Stuff. King was the first to be hired on staff to support the director of tourism as marketing specialist when the Office of Tourism opened in October 1987. During her tenure, as directors came and moved on, she served as interim director until a new one was found. “It was never my intention to stay and be the director,” Bonnie says, “because I knew I would not be able to have my hand in as many pies as I do in my role as deputy director. It has served me well.” King has participated in DF, committees of VISIT FLORIDA, National Tour Association and American Bus Association; serves as president of Film Florida, a not-for-profit association providing a leadership role in Florida’s Film, TV and digital media industry; is the liaison with her four local chambers of commerce; and serves as associate member on the boards for the local Cocoa Beach Hotel Motel Association and the Space Coast Chapter of the Restaurant and Lodging Association. “I have always worked hard with the many members of our tourism and business community to stimulate tourism growth in order to produce economic benefits,” Bonnie says. “Hard to believe I will wake up on the morning of July 1 and then turn over and go back to sleep.” Bonnie King enjoys a recent event with Margaret Bodchon, tour operator; Rob Varley, past TDC director; and Laurilee Thompson and Tom Williamson, TDC members.
