  • The Hotel Industry of the Florida Panhandle
    JULY 2014 | PRICE $500 IN FOCUS: THE HOTEL INDUSTRY OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE Kristin Rinaudo Project Manager John P. Lancet, MAI Director and Partner www.hvs.com HVS Atlanta | 2386 Clower Street, Suite E102, Snellville, GA, 30078 With hotel performance improving, supply in check, and tourism and commercial demand on the rise, hoteliers should pay close attention to possibilities in the Florida Panhandle. Introduction The geography of Florida’s Panhandle region is loosely defined, and so is the makeup of its hospitality market. Certain Panhandle beaches are synonymous with Spring Break, and hotels, motels, and other lodging options have been dug into the coastal markets to serve these transient populations for years. What deserves attention, however, is the growing sophistication of the leisure traveler to the Panhandle, as well as the increased demand in the commercial and military/government segments. The region still presents opportunities for branded hotels, and particularly full-service properties, in select locations. The following article examines transforming economic and hotel demand drivers in the Florida Panhandle, as well as emerging trends in hotel performance. Market Overview and Major Demand Generators The Florida Panhandle is generally accepted as spanning from Florida’s western state line to just east of the capital city of Tallahassee. Alabama and Georgia are to the north, and the Gulf of Mexico lies south. The names of many of the Panhandle’s principal cities evoke the balmy atmosphere, white-sand beaches, and emerald waters so popular with vacationers: Apalachicola, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, Tallahassee, Quincy, Niceville, Marianna, Lynn Haven, Panama City, Panama City Beach, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, DeFuniak Springs, Chipley, Crestview, Milton, Gulf Breeze, and Pensacola.

  • Coast of West Florida, Has Had Its Periods of Growth, Decline, and (Perhaps) Revival
    CEDAR KEY, FLORIDA--A STUDY OF TIME AND PLACE, BOOM AND BUST Harry J. Schaleman, Jr. Cedar Key, one of the numerous barrier islands thal fringe the upper Gulf coast of West Florida, has had its periods of growth, decline, and (perhaps) revival. Site, situa:ion, and timing combined to nurture and later stifle tte devclopmen~ of this small port. Romance, legend, lore, and fiction cloud the search for authenticity (Thompson 19751. During the boom decade of 1875-1886, Cedar Key expanded in population, prosper~ty, and prest~ge untll, as a city of nearly 2,000 people, It had important sea links with Havana, Key West, Mobile, and New Or:eans (Fishburne 1982a, p. 19). It also served as ter~inus for the on~y trans-pen~nsular rallroad in Flor~da. By the tu=n of the century, how­ ever, the town's fortunes had reversed, and the community assumed the role of a small fishing village of approximately 700 people--a status relatively un­ chanqed today (Fishburne 1982b, p. 521. The area is a submergent, irregular coastal low:and [llnged by approx­ ~mately one hu~drcd small islands known collectively as the Cedar Keys. Exten­ Slve marshes and sand dunes lie inland at low elevations. Today the area is noted for wildlife, especially birds, wIth three of the is~ands comprislng Cedar Key's National Wildlife Refuge. Forests with extensive stands of red cedar were once plentiful and gave the name to the island group. The cor.temporary community of Cedar Key, located in Levy County on the 640 acre sand island of Way Key, lies about three rriles offshore.

The Florida Studies Program (FSP) brings together faculty from History, Anthropology, Political Science, English, Geography, and other disciplines to create an integrated, in-depth exploration of our state's changing identity as a part of the American South as well as a bridge to the Caribbean Basin. From environmental policy and resource management to contemporary political challenges and re-writing the colonial history of the state, Florida presents distinctive issues that merit close attention. Students from any discipline can benefit from Florida Studies courses as they prepare for careers ranging from public history and museum studies to education, water and land management, and public service. For anyone who is interested in how our state fits into matters of regional and global significance, this program presents the ideal opportunity to use the State of Florida as a teaching and research laboratory.

    Cover Sheet: Request 10233 Medical Geography in Global Health Info Process Specialization|New/Modify/Close|Ugrad Status Pending Submitter Blackburn,Jason K [email protected] Created 4/29/2015 2:54:47 PM Updated 2/29/2016 2:37:54 PM Description Since 2010, the Geography Department at UF has expanded in scope and faculty, including the addition of several Medical Geography tenure-track positions. With support from CLAS, the Emerging Pathogens Institute, and the UF Preeminence Initiative, the number of Medical Geography faculty now includes four full-time tenure track positions with strengths in medical geography, disease ecology, quantitative methods, human-environment-interactions, and spatial modeling. This adds to our existing expertise from senior faculty in health and aging. As part of this growth in faculty, the course listing in this sub-field is growing to accommodate larger numbers of undergraduate and graduate majors. We propose to develop an undergraduate track in ‘Medical Geography in Global Health’ (MGGH) to meet students’ needs by allowing them to concentrate formally in the subdiscipline of Medical Geography. The faculty expertise includes extensive international research and teaching programs concentrated in Global Health and emerging diseases. By their nature, the changing patterns (=emergence) of disease occurs at the intersections of environmental and biological processes. In the case of zoonoses, those diseases that can infect both humans and animals, this process is often linked with cultural traditions or land use patterns, resource access and equality, and development. ‘Medical Geography in Global Health’ (MGGH) also extends beyond infectious diseases to study the spatial patterns and processes related to health seeking, health care and access.
