PANAMA CITY BEACH, Florida (WJHG / WECP) –
With some Panama City Beach spring events being postponed or even canceled, tourism will be affected.
Gulf Coast Jam and UNwineD have been postponed to June.
The carnival celebrations on Panama City Beach have been canceled.
Visit Panace City Beach PR manager Lacee Rudd said even though the big spring events are canceled, the area is still getting visitors.
“We have seen a recurring trend in short-term bookings throughout the weekend that was very common in the fourth quarter and is still happening in the first quarter of 2021. We are seeing this continue,” said Rudd.
Not only is Panama City Beach still seeing visitors, it is seeing more people from cities that are just a short drive away.
“We have always had loyal visitors from this propulsion market who can arrive in a few hours, and the airport has just opened new direct flights, which is very exciting for the destination,” said Rudd.
The Gulf Coast Jam and UNwineD both take place on the weekend of June 4th.
