Vision Airlines is expected to play a pivotal role in revitalizing Florida’s Emerald Coast tourism industry as the economy was crippled by last year’s Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Florida Governor Rick Scott forecasts that Vision Airlines will generate approximately 4,000 new jobs and will help fill the area’s tens of thousands of hotel rooms, many of which remained vacant during the 2010 tourist season, due to the oil spill.

“While there were some tar balls on the Emerald Coast’s beaches, there were no off-shore oil slicks,” says Mark Bellinger, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Emerald Coast Convention and Visitors’ Bureau. “Despite limited environmental impact, tourists avoided the gulf coast altogether in 2010.”

The Governor and local tourism officials encourage tourists to see for themselves that Florida’s Emerald Coast beaches are still sugary-white and the water is still crystal clear.

Vision Airlines’ started 16 years ago as Vision Air. The company offered popular tourist flights from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. Over the years, the company grew its brand and a worldwide fleet of jets. It has become one of the prominent charter carriers in the world. Vision Airlines’ clients have included presidential candidates, celebrities, professional sports teams and some of the best-known gaming resorts.
