March 13 Show all about Destination Weddings and Florida's Cool State Parks


The March 13th show was a real eye opener. Talkin' Tourism host Gary Guertin and co-host Robin Hicks-Conners were surprised to learn that one of only 42 Master Bridal Consultants in the world, AnnaMarie Wintercorn , lives right here on the Treasure Coast! AnnaMarie shared with the listening audience how important destination weddings are to the tourism industry. Wedding guests come from all compass points to share in the celebrated event.

While attending the wedding, often arriving several days before and staying several days after, many of these guests are seeing the area for the first time and will certainly return on their own vacation. Hear how everyone WINS by promoting the Treasure Coast as a wedding destination.

Martin Morse, park services specialist opened up the fascinating world of the Florida State Park System. Listen and learn about Martin’s “top picks” for the most unique Florida State Parks, from the coral reefs of John Pennekamp State Park to the Waukulla State Park with the largest and deepest fresh water springs in the world to the fascinating stalagmites and stalactites of Florida Caverns State Park.

Last but certainly not least during the top of the show, Gary Guertin recapped the excitement of Bahama Night with the Consul General Mrs. Gladys Johnson-Sands in attendance, along with many Flahama partners in attendance featuring Mango “the best one man calypso band in the Bahamas providing toe-tapping entertainment.
