It is my great privilege to welcome the Southern Association of Wholesale Distributors to the World’s Most Beautiful Beaches! Our City is honored that of all the places your group could have chosen for your 97th Annual Meeting, you chose Panama City Beach. If this is your first visit to PCB, you are in for a treat! We believe our beautiful sunsets, emerald waters and small‐town feel will bring you back for years to come! As a lifelong resident of Panama City Beach, I am certain you will enjoy your stay, and I trust you will find the people of our community friendly and helpful as you make your way around town and explore all that the beach has to offer. Panama City Beach has seen tremendous growth in the last few years, as more than 4 million people visit the beach each year. Another 15,000 full‐time residents live inside the City limits. Panama City Beach has a strong, tourist‐based economy, as the City was recently ranked Number 4 in Best Places in Florida to Buy a Vacation Home. There is an expansive list of things to do here, from family‐friendly attractions at Pier Park, along Front Beach Road and in other areas of Bay County. We have wonderful retail shopping and a wide variety of great restaurants to choose from – from seafood to sushi, country cooking to great steak – many of them located on our beautiful beaches. We appreciate your group, the manufacturers and distributors of your many products, and hope you will consider our area for any future expansion needs. If we may be of any assistance to you while visiting, do not hesitate to call City Hall at (850) 233‐5100. Our public information officer can answer any questions you may have. Sincerely,
Mike Thomas Mayor
