“A “stay-cation” is a great way for travelers to get away without depleting their wallets and gas tanks and explore Florida’s natural and cultural resources in their own backyards,” said Costa d’Este Beach Resorts Director of Sales and Marketing Monica Smiley “With Indian River Counties rivers, lagoons, beaches, and the cool air circulation that keeps the temperatures about 10 degree’s cooler than the rest of the east coast, guests can beat the summer heat while remaining close to home and avoid the stress of a long distance trip.” Indian River County also offers a vast array of cultural and shopping experiences.

With the summer vacation season reving up, Florida Governor Charlie Crist (Governor’s press release ) unveiled the Florida Backyard Card  and is encouraging Florida residents to plan a“stay-cation”. “Every dollar spent in our backyard – Florida – is spent many more times before its economic value is depleted. Dollars spent close to home provide jobs and generate the tax dollars that pay for vital services. Dollars spent with out-of-state companies are gone forever.” Read more about the back yard economics campaign http://www.backyardeconomics.com/
