Several other cities in Florida also made the list with Panama City Beach coming in at number 1, Destin number 2 and Orlando rates 5th. "This just comes at a perfect time for us, which is the peak of our summer family vacation season," said the newly appointed Executive Director of the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), Lori Campbell Baker. The Volusia County Council unanimously voted to confirm Baker to that position on Thursday, July 7, 2016. "TripAdvisor is such a great accolade for us," said Baker. That's because reviews are visitor generated - meaning this list is the result of what people said who have been to Daytona. "That's not something you can buy," said Baker. "It's not part of a media plan or an advertising plan. That's the grassroots - what are they saying about us." Baker also pointed out that the water issues that are plaguing much of the state are not affecting Volusia County. "We have 2 water quality issues within the state of Florida... Neither of those is affecting Volusia County beaches," she said. "In the panhandle, we have a bacterial issue and in South Florida... it's an algae bloom." Baker recommends visitors and residents go to DaytonaBeach.com, which has a schedule of upcoming events, parks, attractions, and "happenings." To see the TripAdvisor article, click here.
