Whats happening locally?(5a)


Apalachicola tourist sues over alleged bedbug infestation; hotel calls suit "frivolous"
The article tells about a possible law suit that will be set in motion because Christopher Martin who was a visitor from Virginia stayed 5 nights at a Best Western Hotel. During his stay he was bitten more than 100 times and had to seek medical attention for the bites and has allegedly suffered because of medical bills, emotional damages, and lost earnings.
The problem presented is that hotels need to be kept up to a health code which guarantees visitors will not contract or be affected by any insects or diseases that could be present in a hotels rooms. As we can see through this article the cleaning crew or whoever is hired to clean the rooms did not do a thorough job. This simple look over could potentially cause this business $75,000 in reparation.
The problem can affect other hotels/motels in the Tallahassee area. To a locally owned business a $75,000 bill could be a major game changer and cause the establishment to close or cause extreme devastation to the owners and its operations.

 Record number of tourists heading to Florida
This small article give insight on the market of tourist Florida has. In the article Governor Rick Scott gives details of 65.5 million tourists came to Florida just within the first 6 months of the year of 2018. This is something to view because it was record breaking and could possess many opportunities for sight seekers.
The problem presented in this is that Florida legislators have denied the budget increase for Visit Florida which is the organization that handles tourism and its opportunities.
Employees of Visit Florida may be burdened with longer hours, minimum pay, out dated equipment, and increased stress because of their workloads because new employees may not be hired to help.

DAYTONA BEACH — Toronto is already the No. 1 source of visit
The article explains the ability for a round trip flight from Toronto, Canada to Daytona Beach, FL. The airline SunWing is going to be offering this clutch travel package which will definitely see a major usage. The round trips flights could cost around $265 and will only be offered seasonally. Typically during the winter time and will end its flights in June. The planes used for the flights will be a Boeing 737-800 jetliner and can set up to 189 passengers.
The problem is that Daytona Beach Area of Conventions and Visitors Bureau and Visit Florida will be taking care of the processes for the flights to be accommodated and ensure all visitors are pleased with their visit. In my previous article review we learned that a budget increase will not be granted Visit Florida which may affect this opportunity.
Visitors from Canada may have bad experiences while visiting Florida because of the increased tourism which may lead to sold out hotels and a cramped city. Daytona Beach is the vacation capital.

FISHING REPORT - Mullet run may be anglers’ happiest time of year
This article lets us know about the increased population of Mullet within the inlet waterways of Daytona Beach down to Edge water which is known as the Halifax River. These massive schools are attracting big time fisherman because Mullet is a hearty fish and is worth a few bucks and can offer a good meal.
The problem is that a major influx of fisherman will damage the possibility of a catch because there will be 10x more fishing poles casted in these water ways.
The people affected by this will be local fisherman. These local fisherman do not fish for gain or fame, they fish to feed themselves, their family, and friends.

DeBary OKs SunRail-area project - $180M development would bring homes, shops, trail connections to city - $180M development would bring homes, shops, trail connections to city
This article is about the potential construction of a 180 million dollar development and the expansion of Central Florida’s Sun Rail system. This development will contain 2 story houses on smalled land plots. It is intended to house commuter families that work within large companies and it will attract them because the sunrail system will directly inject the employees close to where they work adding value to the neighborhood and development because it adds an ease of travel.
The problem is that the new development and the families that move their will be increased population in the city of Debary. This influx will increase workloads for local businesses and increase congestion in the area.
This new development will affect the locals that have already been living there. This may become overly populated and people may because angry with the new construction going on within their city.
