Georgia Governor’s Tourism Conference

tourism conferenceThe Georgia Governor’s Tourism Conference is meeting on Jekyll Island this week and we’re attending the meeting to learn about and promote ecotourism in Georgia. Please say hello and introduce yourself if you’re at the meeting too. We’d love to meet you!

Kingfisher Paddleventures is working to improve its ecotours and build its repertoire of ecotourism products, both on and off the water. So, in addition to saying hello, please feel free to tell us your suggestions or ask questions about the services that we provide. If you’re not at the tourism conference, we’d still love to hear from you. Tell us what you want!

We want to make ecotourism products that really get you excited! We want you fall in love with the beaches and marshes, and we want to be the ones who help you share that love with everyone else. So, whether you join us on a paddleboard tour or prefer to go kayaking, hopefully our product line will grow to include the things that interest you if it doesn’t already.

It’s our hope that attending and talking to people at the Georgia Governor’s Tourism Conference will help us identify ways to better serve our market on Jekyll and St. Simons islands. We also want to learn more about other ecotourism companies in Georgia – what are they offering, who are their customers, and what do their customers most enjoy? The answers to these questions, in addition to the feedback we solicit from our own customers, will help us build the best product possible.

Happy paddling!

Come Help Us With The Litter Clean Up!

Please come help us with the litter clean up this evening at Massengale Park on St. Simons Island! Kingfisher Paddleventures is partnered with Keep Golden Isles Beautiful to help with litter clean-up efforts in the aftermath of Frat Beach activities.

 

We will be at Massengale Park from 5:00 to 7:00 PM to collect litter left behind by the crowds on Frat beach today.

Huge crowds came to our beaches today in advance of the annual Georgia-Florida football game in Jacksonville, FL on Saturday. In past years, the crowds have surged into the thousands, with most participants being students from UGA who have come to the island as part of a weekend-long celebration of the rivalry between the Bulldogs and the Gators.

As with any large crowd, the Frat Beach partiers always leave litter in their wake. Unfortunately, the fact that they’re leaving that litter on a beach where the tides easily wash the trash into the ocean, time is of the essence. We need collect and dispose of the litter as quickly as possible in order to help keep the beach and marshes clean and safe for both wildlife and people.

Kingfisher Paddleventures invites you to come help us with the litter clean up this evening. As a company that makes its money off paddleboard and kayak tours of the island, we are eager to make sure that the beaches and parking lots are clean following today’s events.
