3 What sank the unsinkable Titanic? Ignoring Relevant Information! Arrogance
4 What are vacation plans for 2009?

9 Since fall of 2008, vacation plans have shortened but have not changed February to May. Will not take a vacation Will take a shorter vacation than in the past Will take vacation as we have in the past Will take a longer vacation than in the past 100% 10% 9% 10% First bar is from the Fall 2008 image study (the same question was asked in that survey). 75% 50% 13% 54% 23% 27% 58% 52% 25% 0% 23% 10% 12% Fall 2008 Feb-09 May-09 9
10 Both destinations and nights appear to be lower in 2009 Destinations: Visited (2008) Mean: 2.2 destinations, both overall and by each data source. Plan to visit (2009) Mean: 1.8 destinations, both overall and by each data source. Nights: 2008 Mean: 5 nights Gulf Coast = 5 Gen Pop = Mean: 4.9 nights Gulf Coast = 5 Gen Pop = 4.8 February and May data combined due to no difference in answers
11 There is clearly still untapped potential for the area Willing to consider (screener) Are being considered 100% 75% 68% 50% 51% 53% 37% 25% 0% Gulf Shores Total AL Gulf Coast Total 11
12 The Bottom Line on Vacation Plan Study Costs appears to be a significant factor: Providing value will be key. 90% (+) of those who vacationed in 2008 are planning on vacationing in It appears both destinations and nights will see slight reductions. There is untapped potential for this area. 12

Opportunity 18
19 If was a vehicle what brand would it be? 19
20 Orange Beach and Gulf Shores are best represented by a Cadillac, Toyota, Chevy, Mercedes and Honda? General Population GCV Bureau Cadillac 10% 22% Toyota 15% 15% Chevrolet 13% 23% Mercedes 2% 12% Honda 12% 15% Buick Ford 8% 9% 10% 12% Kia 3% 4% Yugo 1% 3% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 20

22 NONE of these beaches lean to the sophisticated, upscale end of the scale? Biloxi 1.9 AGC 2.0 Gulf Shores 2.2 Panama City 2.3 Orange Beach 2.4 Ft. Walton 2.7 Me 2.7 Destin 3.2 Hometown Newspaper Wall Street Journal Biloxi 2.1 AGC 2.1 Gulf Shores 2.4 Orange Beach 2.6 Panama City 2.7 Ft. Walton 3.0 Me 3.0 Destin 3.4 Mayberry New York City Numbers represent the average rating on a 7-point scale. 22
23 Orange Beach is always closer to the more sophisticated, upscale end of the scale, while Alabama Gulf Coast is closer to the basic or lower cost end of the scale? AGC 2.4 Gulf Shores 2.5 Orange Beach 2.6 Biloxi 2.7 Me 2.7 Ft. Walton 3.0 Panama City 3.3 Destin 3.5 Andy Griffith Paris Hilton Biloxi 2.2 AGC 2.3 Panama City 2.4 Gulf Shores 2.7 Ft.

25 Atlanta area focus groups showed a poor image for Alabama. A KIA cheap with no frills or features and they don t last long. Reuben Studdard he is from Alabama and he loves southern food, nice and Christian boy and has good family values. Trans Am a lot of the southern kids drove around in those, trailer parks not necessarily poor. Britney Spears, southern redneck, trying to move up in the world but not quite there yet. A Ford truck, four wheel drive, CD player, rugged tires, fishing rack on the back with a hitch, BASS sticker in the window and a BAMA plate on the front. Roseanne her family kind of encapsulated what I think Alabama is, the way the show was obnoxious and country. 25
26 Nashville and Baton Rouge focus groups showed a positive image for Alabama. A truck a good ol boy place to be, its not a new truck, ten or 15 years old that is a fixer upper because that is what Alabama is doing. A mini van a family place and lots of open spaces for viewing God s beauty, safe, reliable and comfortable. George Clooney gorgeous if we could be in Alabama, its gorgeous. Reese Witherspoon s he is a native southern belle, funny, beautiful and full of personality. Chevy Impala with a full luxury package. A price I can afford with all the bells and whistles. Reba McIntyre local, friendly, always helpful and down to earth. 26
27 What are ratings of coastal destinations?
28 Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are both rated highly but too many do not know them well. Excellent/Very Good General Population Excellent/Very Good AGCVB Destin 71% 75% 15% 16% Gulf Shores 54% 72% 11% 31% Orange Beach 53% 84% 17% 52% South Walton 56% 63% 35% 48% Panama City Beach 43% 49% 17% 16% Fort Walton 52% 58% 25% 34% Biloxi 19% 23% 34% 42% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 28
29 How likely are you to recommend? Definitely Probably Might Probably/Definitely Not Orange Beach / Gulf Shores General Pop 24% 56% 32% 32% 12% Orange Beach / Gulf Shores GCV Bureau 64% 88% 22% 10% 4% AL Gulf Coast General Pop 11% 31% 20% 48% 13% AL Gulf Coast GCV Bureau 10% 41% 31% 53% 6% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 29
30 Key Points There is clearly an opportunity for improved unaided awareness as a destination for the general public: 32% unaided awareness as a destination Among those who visit most often (advocates) or visit in the past two years (friends) the image is GREAT! White sand, fun, restaurants, family, friends Among those who have not visited the area the image represents a great unknown = opportunity to define and grow! 30
31 Key Points Orange Beach & Gulf Shores = Cadillac, Chevrolet, Toyota and Mercedes Alabama Gulf Coast = Chevrolet, Ford, Buick Honda When comparing brands: Orange Beach is always slightly shifted to the more sophisticated, upscale, cutting edge and is always closer to me. 31
32 Key Points Alabama clearly has baggage attached: Atlanta focus groups Trans am, Chevette, KIA Anna Nicole, Britney Spears, Roseanne Always closest to the least sophisticated brand Among inquirers 88% recommend GS/OB as compared to 41% recommend Alabama Gulf Coast Among general public 56% recommend GS/OB as compared to 31% Alabama Gulf Coast 32
