Tourism Commission Meeting Minutes
April 8, 2013

The following individuals were in attendance:

Commission Members Mayor Rick Meehan, Council Secretary and Tourism
Commission Chair Mary Knight, Councilman Dennis Dare; Todd Ferrante, OCDC
Representative; Michael James, EDC Representative. Also present were: Greg Shockley,
State Tourism Commission Chair; David Recor, City Manager; Donna Abbott, Tourism
Director; Larry Noccolino, Convention Center Director; Susan Petito, Recreation &
Parks; Lisa Osman, Tourism; John Gehrig and Melanie Pursel, Chamber Representatives;
Susan Jones, HMRA Representative.

Discussion of marketing message relating to Hurricane Sandy
Mary Knight opened the meeting by relaying a suggestion from Councilman Brent
Ashley to encourage people to visit hard-hit areas to our north to help in their recovery,
and that in turn will cast Ocean City in a positive light. Business organization
representatives pointed out that there were numerous relief efforts carried out by Ocean
City organizations to help those communities in the storms aftermath and that some of
the communities may not be ready to host visitors in the coming months, therefore we
might be doing a disservice by encouraging them to visit.

Continued discussion of Tourism Metrics
Tourism Director Donna Abbott relayed that State Tourism Director Margot Amelia
could not be in attendance today after the meeting schedule of the Tourism Commission
was switched from Thursday to Monday, however, Margot will be in attendance at the
May meeting to discuss tourism metrics the state uses to evaluate its tourism efforts.
Mary Knight shared an analysis proposed by Nobi, a consulting business that provided a
preliminary proposal to do a study at a minimum of $75,000. Mary also handed out a
tourism report prepared by the Jackson Hole, Wyoming Chamber and recounted they
publish hotel occupancy numbers weekly in their local newspaper. Donna also handed
out copies of the states tourism sales and use tax codes for 2012, along with the most
recent Smith Travel Report for February and an Ocean City tourism impact report
prepared in 2011 by the state as part of their annual reporting. Michael James suggested a
comp set of hotel properties be established and evaluated. There was consensus for Mary
to work with the Tourism Director and Susan Jones of HMRA and Melanie Pursel from
the Chamber to form a subcommittee to further explore metrics methods and how to
compile.

OC Experience
Tourism Director Donna Abbott, presented data collected at four travel shows the
Tourism Department participated in this year as part of the OC Experience project. Data
was collected by persons attending shows in Philadelphia; Columbus, Ohio; Baltimore
and Washington. Donna reported that the Washington show, a two-day travel show held
in March, was the best attended. A total of 827 email addresses were collected from
attendees who entered information on an Ipad to win a hotel stay in Ocean City. Also
3,600 visitor guide books were distributed at the four shows, although Donna reported
they could have used more guide books at Washington and Baltimore. The majority of
respondents was female, age 35-64 and married. Survey respondents have primarily
visited Ocean City one to five times (31 percent) or 6-20 times (32 percent), although 43
percent have never visited Ocean City. For the trip being researched at the show, 40
percent plan to travel as a couple while 35 percent plan to travel as a family with
children.

Photos were also taken at the shows, including two where Rodney made appearances
(Philly and Baltimore) and posted on Facebook. Posts and albums received 420,000 plus
impressions.

At the conclusion of the four shows, MGH, the towns advertising agency sent out a
survey to those who submitted their email addresses to find out if the information
presented at the travel shows helped them make a decision to go on vacation.
Approximately 10 percent of the 800 plus people responded to the survey, with the
following reported:

72 people said that the show helped them make a decision on where to vacation; 28 said
it did not. 92 people said the Ocean City booth made them more likely to plan a trip to
Ocean City; 6 said it made them less likely. 8 visitors had already planned or booked an
OC trip this year; 48 had not. 56 planned to visit OC this year; 45 people did not.
Respondents to the survey were in the following age divisions: 14 were under 30; 11
were 31-39; 29 were 40-49; 27 were 50-59 and 17 were 60 or older.

The next meeting will be held on May 13, at 1:00, in Room 214 at the Convention
Center.

Recreation & Parks Committee
Surfing Beach Subcommittee
Minutes of April 1, 2013

1. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 4:00 p.m. at the
Community Room at City Hall. Present were Butch Arbin, Ward Kovacs,
Tom Shuster, Mick Chester, Joe Groves, Chris Shanahan, Shelly Dawson,
Rick Pairo, Mike Foelber, Lee Gerachis, Joe Mitrecic and Dennis Dare and
Lloyd Martin.
2. Surfing and the Beach Patrol Mission: Butch described the mission of the
Beach Patrol and handed out a written description of the current operation of
the Ocean City Surfing Beaches. Butch also described how the Beach Patrol
decides to modify beach access to permit surfing during the established
swimming hours from 10:00 a.m. thru 5:30 p.m.
3. History of Surfing Beaches in Ocean City: Butch handed out a history of
surfing regulations and designated surfing beaches in Ocean City. Lloyd
Martin arrived at 4:25 p.m.
4. Discussion of Surfing Beaches in 2013: Mick Chester discussed how Beach
Patrol decides to modify beaches for permitted surfing. Lee Gerachis
offered the opinion that a less flexible, more definitive option on modified
surfing may be safer and cause less tension between surfers and swimmers.
Butch Arbin provided some data on the use of surfing beaches in 2012.
Some members suggested increasing the size of surfing beaches to two
blocks and then moving the surfing beaches 3 blocks each day. Following
discussion, there was no consensus on this option.
Mike Foelber provided Google earth photos showing the beaches around the
Princess Royale Hotel in 2010 over a holiday weekend. A discussion of the
impacts of surfing beaches on the guests and operators of large hotel and
condominium properties followed.
2

Ward Kovacs suggested a change to a beach size of approximately one and a
half blocks wide by adding to the width on either or both sides of the block.
There was support among the group for this option. Using this option, the
proposed draft schedule for 2013 could be maintained while allowing more
surfing space.
The group discussed the variable size of blocks around town and Butch
Arbin explained how the rotating beach schedule north and south takes that
into consideration.
Mick Chester suggested adding a third surfing beach on Saturdays and
Sundays to compensate for the loss of the Inlet Beach on weekends. Butch
agreed to prepare a draft schedule for 2 rotating surfing beaches from
Monday to Friday and 3 rotating beaches on the weekends. The addition of
a third surfing beach on weekends would require hiring more Surfing Beach
Facilitators (SBFs) and a corresponding increase to the Beach Patrol
budget. This option and its cost will be discussed at the next meeting.
The next meeting was scheduled for Monday, April 15 at 4:00 p.m. In order
to expedite action, the recommendation from the April 15 meeting will be
scheduled for the Council meeting of April 15.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:35 p.m.

Please note that the funding for the Downtown beach firework shows originally
scheduled for Tuesdays May 28, June 4, 11, 18 & 25 are being reallocated to
enhance Sundaes in the Park to produce a larger fireworks show from the Northside
Park pier. The Fire Marshall has determined that the pier is the only safe area to launch
fireworks thereby requiring a larger shell/display which will be needed to enhance
visibility from audiences.
We are currently seeking to secure sponsors to support funding in an attempt to
replace all or some of the May 28, June 4,11,18 & 25 downtown beach firework shows.
