Destin.com, Emeraldcoast.com announce launch

FORT WALTON BEACH — The Northwest Florida Daily News, owned by Gatehouse Media LLC., is excited to announce the launch of Destin.com and Emeraldcoast.com.

These two sites are the epitome of what our beautiful beach destinations along the Emerald Coast have to offer.

Destin.com will focus on our tourist industry and help connect visitors to everything there is to offer from Pensacola to Panama City Beach and beyond. The site features beaches, attractions, shopping, dining, recreation, and — of course — booking a stay at one of our many hotels and condominiums.

Emeraldcoast.com has a focus on the local market with all the resources as Destin.com as well as added features such as event calendars, day-trip ideas, and lists of live entertainment venues and local specials.

The destination sites’ most exciting feature, however, is consumer interaction. We will have live promotions and contests, sponsored events and giveaways, and even on-scene video and audio broadcasts at festivals and featured events throughout the year.

For example, to kick off Destin.com, the Northwest Florida Daily News hosted a live stream of a shark charter fishing trip out of Destin, and simultaneously held a sweepstakes contest. The contest’s winner received a $500 prize package from any Tripshock tour or stay hosted on our site, as well as prizes donated by local businesses.

WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Destin.com and Emeraldcoast.com will soon be known as the best place to find out what is happening along the Emerald Coast — and the easiest way to get in on the fun. We are currently looking for local partners to participate in advertising opportunities and local event listings.

You will not want to miss out on the opportunity to be part of the quickest growing market in the area, and be featured with our trusted content on the Emerald Coast’s most accessible website.

You can easily add your event listings to our database at eviesays.com or contact our advertising department to find out how to get a prime location on our website to promote your business.
