Why Naples/Ft. Myers? That's a great question. But it is also an easy question to answer.
Combine
miles of white-sand beaches, a warm, sunny climate and a reputation as a
vacation haven. Add a booming business community, one of the fastest growing
populations in the nation and a steadily diversifying economic base. Sound like
a great place to be? Southwest Florida offers all of these things...and more!
The five Southwest Florida counties of Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry and
Glades are home to more than a half-million residents. Seventy-five miles of
beaches, countless miles of Gulf of Mexico shoreline, a subtropical climate and
an unlimited variety of leisure activities attract thousands of seasonal
residents and tourists -- and many of them decide to make the area their
year-round home. The phenomenal growth of the area is expected to continue
with
a projected population increase of more than one-third by the year 2003.
The growth reaches beyond tourism. The area's progressive economic development agencies, both public and private, are spreading the word that Southwest Florida is a profitable and pleasant place to do business.
Not enough? Well here are some other things to consider when planning your next golf vacation.
