What they're saying about us

More than half of all U.S. adults – 101,900,000 – say they use travel media such as newspaper travel sections, television travel shows, consumer travel magazines and Internet sources to plan their vacations, according to the Travel Industry Association. Whenever you see our destination in the news, it is evidence that the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau’s communications department has been hard at work generating millions of dollars worth of free publicity. We’re proud to report what they’re saying about us . . .
New York Daily News
“It’s easy to see why people become so enamored with this corner of Florida. The beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel Island are some of the country’s best for seashell collectors, with about 400 varieties of shells. Captiva Cruises (www.captivacruises.com) runs popular shelling and dolphin-watching trips from the island. For more information on the area, go to www.fortmyerssanibel.com.”

Post and Courier (Charleston, SC)
“Tooling around parts of this glorious island on my human transporter, I’m noticing interesting things – that is, when all my attention is not taken by this two-wheeled wonder called a Segway. Billy’s Rentals has been providing bicycles and sundry other items to vacationers here for decades, and now it’s offering guided tours for $60 on Segways that cost $5,000, a novel way to explore some of the natural wonder of this fragile barrier island near Fort Myers, Fla.”
Black Outdoorsman Magazine 
On the Sandpiper Beach Resort: “The quaint accommodations and personable staff provided a pleasant atmosphere. The location’s bright yellow buildings made it stand out against the white sand and tranquil blue Gulf of Mexico waters.”
Travel Trade Gazette
“Other highlights along the coast are posh Naples and beautiful Sanibel & Captiva Islands, where dolphin spotting and shell collecting are the most strenuous pastimes.”
