Visit Pensacola is a finalist for three VISIT FLORIDA Flagler Awards for outstanding website, Internet advertising and social media marketing.

Every year, VISIT FLORIDA, the state’s official tourism marketing corporation, presents the Flagler Awards, known as Henrys, recognizing excellence in tourism marketing. This year’s awards ceremony will be held at the 44th Annual Governor’s Conference on Tourism Sept. 25-26.

At the ceremony, Visit Pensacola will be recognized for its new website VisitPensacola.com, its Facebook page, which has grown more than 300 percent in the past year, and its “Curious About Our Coast” interactive ads following the oil spill.

Visit Pensacola has received five Henrys for its work with the USS Oriskany reef project, the Pensacola Celebrity Chefs and its annual visitor guide.
