Holiday Inn Resort, PC Beach Gives Away Penthouse Stay with Second Chance Summer Photo Contest

July 12, 2012 - PRLog -- The Holiday Inn Resort, Panama City Beach is excited to bring you the Second Chance Summer Photo Contest where one lucky winner will receive a stay in the penthouse suite!

The summer is almost over, but the fun hasn’t stopped at the Holiday Inn Resort!  Whether you missed your vacation this summer or would like to relive it, the Holiday Inn Resort is giving away a second chance at a summer stay in the Gulf front, 2 bedroom, penthouse suite!  One lucky winner will spend 4 nights with family or friends enjoying the sun, sand, and emerald green waters of Panama City Beach this fall.  

It’s no secret that Panama City Beach is an amazing place to visit in the summer, but summer is just part of the year.  “Ask any local what the best time of the year is to be on Panama City Beach, and most will tell you that late September through October is the best,” says Philip Colvin; Director of Marketing for the Holiday Inn Resort on Panama City Beach.

The almost perfect weather, characterized by warm days that make it nice to enjoy the water and comfortable cool evenings, make the fall months ideal for vacationers and locals alike.  Getting the word out about this time of year was the inspiration and reason behind the creation of the “Second Chance Summer Photo Contest.”

“We wanted to do something that would highlight the fact that even though the summer season is over; summer on Panama City Beach is still here.  So, we came up with the idea of a second chance at a summer vacation.  If the dates a guest had requested were not available, or other things got in the way during the summer months, they can still come to the beach and have an incredible vacation,” says Colvin

With so many school systems adjusting their calendars to have a shorter summers and an extended breaks during the fall, it’s much easier for vacationers to take advantage of the lower prices, less crowded beaches, and enticing weather that Panama City Beach has to offer after the busy summer season.

“We have seen an ever increasing amount of families coming in during the month of October as a result of changes to school calendars, and we really want to get the word out about how great this time of year can be,” said Phyllis Campisi, Revenue Manager at the Holiday Inn Resort. “We still offer almost everything we have during the summer, all at a very affordable price.”

“The Second Chance Photo Contest is our way of giving back and letting everyone know that even if you missed the summer season, a great summer vacation can still be had at a much better price during the fall,” said Philip Colvin.
