"Palm Beach County sports leaders to keep local hotel rooms full"

The little City of Lake Worth is missing out on all of this. All because a few malcontents filed a lawsuit to stop the Gulfstream Hotel redevelopment. Isn't that sad? To read more about this look in the right-hand column "For facts on building height in Lake Worth" or use this link.

Here is the latest from the Post's Jennifer Sorentrue on efforts to draw tourists to Palm Beach County during the Summer months:

     As Florida’s tourism season enters the slow summer months, Palm Beach County sports leaders plan to keep local hotel rooms full by hosting thousands of out-of-town athletes.
     The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will play host to more than 50 youth and amateur sporting events this summer, giving local sports fan an opportunity to see some of the country’s most talented competitors.
     The summer events serve as a buoy for local hotels [emphasis added], boosting occupancy rates just as the busy winter tourism season comes to a close, tourism leaders say. The events, which feature 25 sports, are expected to draw tens of thousands of athletes and their family members to Palm Beach County.
