Florida fears that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico will scare off tourists in Panama City. Dan Rowe of the Panama City Visitors' Bureau says that he has been getting calls from people whom frequently visit Panama City, they are wondering about the conditions of the water and if it will be safe to travel there. Tourism is the largest industry in Panama City. "We'll get through the oil spill," Rowe said. "There's no oil on Panama City Beach or any of the beaches in northwest Florida."
I personally hope that the oil spill doesnt reach the beaches of Florida. It wouldnt be good for the economy there and it is the place that I will be vacationing this summer.
Florida officials hope oil spill fears won't keep tourists away.
