Travelocity and the Northwest Florida Regional airport flight and stay packages

Travelocity and Coastal Vision 3000 Announce Alliance to Market Northwest Florida Beaches

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Coastal Vision 3000, a marketing organization for Northwest
Florida's beaches, announced today a groundbreaking relationship with
Travelocity to market the region's 181-mile Gulf Coast to travelers
near and far. Known for its white sand beaches and clear emerald
waters, the area dubbed "THE Beach" stretches from Pensacola to Port
St. Joe in the Florida Panhandle.

Visitors to Travelocity and a new consumer site,
www.thebeachfla.com, can now book member hotels and rental units, plus
airfare, from their choice of gateways. In the coming months, special
packages combining air and lodging will be created with airlines from
key market cities, and dynamic booking incentives will be launched.

THE Beach is served by three airports: the Panama City-Bay County
International Airport (PFN), Okaloosa County Airport (VPS), and the
Pensacola Regional Airport (PNS). A new international airport near
Panama City Beach will help position Northwest Florida's beaches as an
international destination. The airport broke ground in late 2007 and
is on schedule to open in May 2010. At the airport's groundbreaking,
Florida Governor Charlie Crist said, "This is America's first truly
'Green Airport.'"

"Travelocity is delighted to partner with Coastal Vision 3000, as
we see enormous potential in the Northwest Florida market," said Paul
Nelson, senior vice president of partner marketing at Travelocity.
"THE Beach boasts hotels, resorts and condos totaling more than 60,000
units. Average rental rates are competitive, and the snow-white
beaches are ranked among the best in the U.S."

"Our alliance with Travelocity is a key step to build a strong
regional brand, attract more competitive air service and visitors from
across the globe, and showcase Northwest Florida's wonderful beach
destinations," said Davage "Buddy" Runnels, chairman of Coastal Vision
3000. "Coastal Vision 3000 is an unprecedented effort to bring
together business leaders from Northwest Florida's coastal counties to
grow our market to everyone's benefit."

THE Beach encompasses six counties and 181 miles of some of the
world's most beautiful beaches in the Florida Panhandle. This
Gulf-front area boasts more miles of preserved, undeveloped coastline
than anywhere else in Florida. In addition, more than 225,000 acres of
the region is protected and maintained by national, state and local
parks and preserves.

Coastal Vision 3000 is focused on making Northwest Florida beaches
an international destination, attracting new airline service and
creating a stronger regional brand identity. Regional business leaders
serving with Runnels on the executive committee include: Park Brady,
CEO, Resort Quest International; Andy Phillips, president, Counts
Oakes Resort Properties; Robert Kamm, president & CEO, Sandcastle
Resorts & Hotels; Dawn Moliterno, president & CEO, Walton Area Chamber
of Commerce; Mel Ponder, executive director, Coastal Vision 3000; and
Jerry M. Ray, senior vice president, strategic alliances, The St. Joe
Company.
