I say... Let the MARKET decide. If spring breakers aren't good for PCB, business will not favor them. No one will rent to them.

If spring break helps the local economy during an otherwise slow time, it will continue to be a key part of spring.

If PCB gets more "upscale" visitors are coming down during that time, Spring Break visitors will be priced out and will go somewhere else.

At the end of the day...

Northwest Florida is going to see huge growth in popularity over the next 5-10 years. Hotels and Condos will always be filled up, because they need to be rented out.

During the times that Upscale visitors want to be in town, rates will reflect that. In March and April, Spring Breakers will fill up rooms that are otherwise not taken by others... and the area should enjoy the business.

Just my thoughts... yours might vary...
