Attachment: IV.c. Financial Update (2565 : February Financial Update) The tourist development department has three recurring revenue sources – tourist development tax (5 percent), convention center fees (e.g. room & equipment rentals, ticket sales), and interest income on cash balances – along with two non-recurring revenue sources – grants & assessments (BP, FDOT, FDEP, MSBU) and reserves. Reserves are the largest component of budgeted revenues because the budget reflects anticipated revenues as well as current cash on hand. Reserves/cash on hand is a budget “placeholder” and represents the accumulation of unspent prior year bed tax dollars; it’s not an actual source of incoming revenues for the year. Tourist development taxes comprise the largest part of actual annual revenue collections. Each percentage is anticipated to generate $2.4M, for a total of $12M in bed taxes. Lodging establishments remit bed tax collections to the tax collector by the 20th of each month for the preceding month. The tax collector reconciles and remits the revenues to the County by the 10th of the following month. Due to the timing of this process, the $1.2M in actual revenue only represents collections through December 31st.

Financial Update (2565 : February Financial Update) visitor services & lifeguards, convention center, and tourism promotion – along with two non-recurring expenses – grants & assessments and reserves. Reserves are the largest component of budgeted expenses because budgeted expenses must equal budgeted revenues. The budgeted use/drawdown of reserves is reflected in the amount by which budgeted reserves expenses are less than budgeted reserves revenues: $21M reserve revenue – $15M reserve expenses = $6M use/drawdown for capital projects Each percentage of the bed tax is required to be spent in a certain way per County Ordinance.

(January 6, 2014) – Leading travel website TripAdvisor named Destin, Fla., to its 2013 annual top 10 list of “Destinations on the Rise in the U.S.,” which ranks travel hotspots that received the greatest increase in positive traveler feedback and traveler interest from the company’s customers. “TripAdvisor is the dominant source of travel information on the Internet,” said Ed Schroeder, director of the Emerald Coast Tourist Development Department. “To have TripAdvisor’s customers think so highly of Destin and the Emerald Coast is fantastic. We agree Destin is the destination of choice for travelers visiting our special vacation spot.” Destin ranked third in the country after Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, and Anchorage, Alaska, and is the only destination in the Southeastern U.S. to be recognized by TripAdvisor in the annual poll. “For travelers looking for inspiration for their 2014 travel planning, TripAdvisor travelers have helped us put a spotlight on some amazing destinations that caught the eye of travelers this past year,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor. “Between large cities gathering steam and off-the-beaten-path spots surfaced by our community, travelers can discover wonderful accommodations, attractions and restaurants in all of these award-winning destinations.” And with spectacular sugar-white sand beaches, emerald-green Gulf waters and an abundance of activities, Destin’s Schroeder said there’s something for nearly every traveler. “Visitors have so many options in Destin, from fishing and water sports to golf and numerous other family- friendly activities,” Schroeder said. “Whether it’s a relaxing day at our beaches, shopping in our great local businesses or dining on fresh Gulf seafood at great local restaurants, a Destin vacation is one that will create lasting memories and have you wanting to return again and again. We encourage travelers to come experience what TripAdvisor users have discovered.” For more information on visiting the Emerald Coast beaches of Destin, Ft.

Revised SMP Ad Agency (2571 : Revised Ad Agency & Memo) Background All advertising/marketing expenditures shall be in conformity with the approved Strategic Marketing Plan and task order process per section D.200.2.c of the TDD Operations & Procedures Manual. The Board approved a $2.6M annual Strategic Marketing Plan on November 5, 2013. The adopted departmental budget in accounts that are classified as “promotional activities” according to the uniform chart of accounts totals $3.5M (excluding accounts for BP funds). This $900K difference is attributable to $534K in marketing activities performed in-house by TDD staff and $375K in special event and sponsorship funding. A Convention Center Local Strategic Plan was developed in August 2013, but an overall in-house strategic marketing plan outlining activities and expenses was not formally reviewed by the TDC nor adopted by the BCC. Details of budgeted in-house promotional activities amounts are not available. Consequently, payments related to in-house activities cannot be processed because they are neither included in the adopted Strategic Marketing Plan nor processed via task order nor itemized in the adopted budgeted. Discussion – Ad Agency Strategic Marketing Plan $2.6M The adopted Strategic Marketing Plan (SMP) included a line item for Co-Op Opportunities in the amount of $285,000. Due to low partner participation, only two co-ops targeting Canadian travelers were implemented. A new co-op with Southwest Airlines is being proposed, with the balance of funds proposed for reallocation to leisure media and television production to make a larger promotional impact for the taxing district. Meeting/Conventions and Groups have also been reevaluated. The revised SMP includes the originally adopted budget as well as the proposed revised budget. Changes are noted in bold for ease of comparison. The overall budget remains unchanged at $2.6M. Ad agency SMP expenses are paid via task order. A few aspects of the ad agency SMP warrant further explanation:  Television Production – Due to the reallocation of funding, television production can be incorporated into the SMP. Two :30 spots and two :15 spots will be shot, edited, and developed to launch in late Spring.  Last Minute Deals – Unanticipated marketing/promotional opportunities will likely present themselves during the year. To the greatest extent possible, such opportunities will be presented to the TDC for recommendation to the BCC for approval in advance. However, these funds are 1 of 3 Packet Pg. 95 82 9.h.a available for appropriation by the Tourist Development Director with concurrence of the County Administrator if a time-sensitive opportunity would be lost due to the timing of regular TDC and BCC meetings required to obtain advance approval. Total cost of the opportunity must be less than $35,000 and County Administrator approval is required regardless of dollar amount. The TDC and BCC will be apprised of the use of these dollars at their next regularly scheduled meetings. Discussion – In-House Strategic Marketing Plan $534K There are several marketing efforts undertaken by Tourist Development Department staff. The Destination team attends trade shows throughout the year to promote the Emerald Coast area as a tourism destination. The Sales team attends trade shows and makes sales trips to promote the Emerald Attachment: IX.h. Revised SMP Ad Agency (2571 : Revised Ad Agency & Memo) Coast Convention Center (ECCC) to meeting planners. The Events team ensures each client’s expectations at the ECCC are met or exceeded. The Film Commission markets the Emerald Coast to production and entertainment companies. There is $589K budgeted for in-house marketing and promotional activities, but only $534K is directly attributable to promotional accounts. In-house SMP expenses are paid via credit card or purchase order. A few aspects of the in-house SMP warrant further explanation:  Film Commission – The TDD has a contract in the amount of $38K with Gail Morgan for film commission services, which covers wages and travel (transportation, accommodations, meals, registration fees). Other expenses necessary to support Film Commission operations are paid directly by the TDD. The Film Commission was budgeted in a contractual services account, but is more appropriately classified as a promotional activity.  Burning Up the Beaches – The previous Tourist Development Director made a verbal commitment to L.A. Woodall to reimburse Horizons Foundation’s agreement with Masters Entertainment Group to produce a car show on location in Fort Walton Beach in 2013 and 2014. The two-year agreement totals $15,000 and each year has been included in the in-house SMP for TDC consideration. Legal counsel has advised the TDC may wish to honor the 2013 car show since services have already been rendered, but is under no obligation to honor a verbal agreement for 2014.  Entertainment Expenses/Meals for Meetings – Section C.500 of the TDD Operations & Procedures Manual provides for entertainment expenses when meeting with travel writers, tour brokers, or other persons connected with the tourist industry. Networking with local and out of area tourism industry professionals is an essential component of promoting the taxing district, and such activity may on occasion require the purchase of meals and non-alcoholic beverages.  Last Minute Deals – Unanticipated marketing/promotional opportunities will likely present themselves during the year. To the greatest extent possible, such opportunities will be presented to the TDC for recommendation to the BCC for approval in advance. However, these funds are available for appropriation by the Tourist Development Director with concurrence of the County Administrator if a time-sensitive opportunity would be lost due to the timing of regular TDC and BCC meetings required to obtain advance approval. Total cost of the opportunity must be less than $35,000 and County Administrator approval is required regardless of dollar amount. The TDC and BCC will be apprised of the use of these dollars at their next regularly scheduled meetings. 2 of 3 Packet Pg. 96 9.h.a 83 Discussion – Special Event and Sponsorship Funding $375K Section F of the TDD Operations & Procedures Manual provides up to $20K for each event that increases awareness of the Emerald Coast as a tourist destination and drives incremental room occupancy in the taxing district particularly during low or shoulder seasons. The adopted budget earmarks $375K for special events and sponsorships meeting the criteria of the TDD Manual. Moving forward, both the ad agency and in-house strategic marketing plans will be presented to the TDC for review, and adjustment as needed, on a quarterly basis at minimum to ensure the marketing/promotional opportunities reflect current needs to promote the area and increase lodging occupancy in the taxing district.
