Zoomers about to open in Fort Myers

August 29th, 2011 |

"We're going bring it exactly to where the original plans intended it to be," said project manager Alan Fluke

A Fort Myers family has purchased the park known as Zoomers, which has been silent and untouched for more than four years.

The new owners plan to put a significant amount of money into the property. The park is more than 90-percent complete, but needs some rehab.

“We’re going bring it exactly to where the original plans intended it to be,” said project manager Alan Fluke.

The property was purchased in a federal foreclosed property auction in June for $1.3 million.

That’s a fraction of what was put into this before construction ended.

Its former owner ran out of money and an Immokalee based bank took it over before shutting down and handing it off to the FDIC.

“It’s taken a couple steps backwards so we’ve gotta bring everything back to life. We need new paint everywhere. We have to fix that go kart track,” Fluke said.

He says because the park is 95-percent complete, not much needs to go into getting it up and running. In fact, the biggest problem is clearing out some of the vegetation.

“Once we get everything torn down and new plants it will look different in a short period of time,” Fluke said.

The park is set to open in early 2012.

There is still no word on how many employees the owners will hire when it is up and running. But they say they hope to have those numbers when they hold a job fair in the beginning of next year.

Fort Myer & Sanibal Beaches

August 3rd, 2011 |

 

'blue skies and palm trees'

LEE COUNTY, FL – Fort Myers was ranked second for the lowest tax-burdened central cities out of 50 U.S. destinations recently rated in an annual study by the Global Business Travel Association Foundation.

The 2011 survey — which reviewed general sales tax and tax on travel-related services such as car rentals, hotel stays and meals — revealed drastic tourism tax differences between cities, in some cases 80 percent more in comparison, according to Joe Bates, the foundation’s director of research.

“This is yet another reason for meeting planners to consider The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel for their events,” said Tamara Pigott, executive director of the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau (VCB), which markets The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel on southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast. “Choosing a city with lower taxes helps planners manage the rising cost of business travel, especially meetings and events. The study provides important information for planners to take into consideration in their site selection.”

Gary Young of Universal Vacations commented that the area was still well visited by the international traveller but with the meeting space available the domestic coporate market is also eyeing Fort myers as a venue to host annual events.

The annual study provides several different views of travel taxes to help visitors make informed choices. The top 50 markets are ranked by overall travel tax burden, including general sales tax and discriminatory travel taxes, and by discriminatory travel tax burden, excluding general sales taxes to count only taxes that target car rentals, hotel stays and meals. Separate data is offered for central city and airport locations, as the tax regimes are often distinct.

The foundation’s findings were collected using the ERS Group, a statistical and economic consulting firm that calculated taxes paid by travelers staying at a hotel, renting a car and eating restaurant meals for one day and one night, as well as for a longer stay of three days and two nights, according to the study.

The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel offers a variety of meeting room options via its many hotels and resorts and also vacation rental properties on the beach or close by. A total of 256,129 square feet of meeting space is available throughout the county, with area properties offering from 600 square feet up to 73,000 square feet at one venue. There also are meeting options in myriad off-site venues, including one-of-a-kind museums, parks and other attractions. The area offers a full range of properties from inexpensive motels to idyllic cottages to condominiums and full-service resort properties. Many are located within 30 minutes of Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), featuring 20 carriers making non-stop flights to 43 domestic and four international destinations.
