(Coded Open-Ends) Too fast-paced/hectic About 17% say Tampa detracts from St. Pete/Clearwater in some way, most often crime/drugs, and traffic/crowding. 20

21 IMPLICATIONS & CONSIDERATIONS

22 St. Pete/Clearwater is perceived more favorably than Tampa by just about any measure St. Pete/Clearwater has better brand momentum among both first time and repeat visitors than does Tampa. Overall opinion of St. Pete/Clearwater is more favorable than that of Tampa. By a very wide margin 47% to 6% among potential visitors and 67% to 7% among repeat visitors St. Pete/Clearwater is considered a better destination overall than is Tampa (with the remaining travelers saying they are equal or they don t know which is better). On all of the most important attributes for selecting a warm weather destination except one, St. Pete/Clearwater is considered the better destination the exception being having a variety of appealing dining options, on which Tampa is tied. This is true for both potential and repeat visitors. 22

23 St. Pete/Clearwater is considered fun. It has foundational equity in perceptions as vibrant, fresh, and exciting and it is described in these ways significantly more than Tampa. Some of the brand personality characteristics St. Pete/Clearwater owns among potential visitors fun, friendly, clean, family-oriented. While potentail vistors do believe that St. Pete/Clearwater and Tampa are equally lively, vibrant, and energetic but that St. Pete /Clearwater is more fresh and exciting. The pattern is much the same for repeat visitors, except that for them St. Pete/Clearwater is more often than Tampa overtly described as vibrant. 23

24 Tampa brings more positives to the table than negatives including some things that St. Pete/Clearwater doesn t offer such as professional sports. And travelers already consider the area the Tampa Bay area or Tampa area. Travelers call the Pinellas County/Hillsborough County area of Florida by a variety of names, but Tampa Bay is the most common (mentioned by 17% of potential visitors and 20% of repeat visitors), followed by Tampa/St. Pete. Overall, names with Tampa in them predominate over those with Clearwater and/or St. Pete in them. In part this is due to the large majority of travelers who fly into Tampa International Airport. 35% of potential visitors and 47% of repeat visitors think Tampa complements St. Pete/Clearwater versus just 17% and 18% who think it detracts. Tampa s urban vibe and wide range of professional sports offerings make it distinctive and complementary to Clearwater/St. Pete s beachy, relaxing, fun, friendly vibe. 24
