Destin is such a vibrant and vital community, yet to many it is still a well kept secret. We love Fodors.com when traveling, but did you know they feature only three restaurants in their 2009 Destin review - one of which is not even in Destin?! Navigating typical yellow pages type directory sites also yields incomplete and inaccurate information. We think Destin deserves better!
That is why we created ZapGuide – the SINGLE source for essential Destin information – not only for travelers, but for new and long time residents as well. ZapGuide is a free community resource for visitors, residents, business and government, easily accessible by computer, PDA device or smart phone.
ZapGuide is one place you can go for all the latest information on virtually every important facet of Destin – with direct access to the source of that information – in an instant! Whether you’re looking for a great seafood restaurant, spa, art gallery, golf course or neighborhood festival – it’s all right here on ZapGuide.
For Destin merchants, service providers, event organizers and community governments ZapGuide is a service that delivers customers, users, patrons and simply … people who are actively seeking what they offer – at no cost.
We at ZapGuide take the time to research Destin in exhaustive detail. We contact local “authorities” at every level – from the Chamber of Commerce to the newest merchant in town – and we ask them what is compelling and timely about the community.
We aspire to organize this entire array of vital information so that it is easy to find with a quick scan of the site. Yet, if a business defies typical categorization, if what they offer is so unique they stand by themselves – we’ll create a special place for them to shine.
ZapGuide is not a community bulletin board, blog or editorial platform. We think no one is better qualified to tell their story than the very folks who live that story – businesses and enterprises who transform Destin into a community, and give it such vital life.
Like any special production, ZapGuide is best experienced with “limited commercial interruption”. We accept only a limited number of discrete display ads, all ads are of roughly uniform size to provide all sponsors equal exposure over time.
If you’re visiting make ZapGuide your home page for the week, and use it to plan your entire vacation. If you’re fortunate enough to live here, bookmark us and check in often - we promise to keep you informed. If you’re a merchant or service provider tell us what’s going on at your place - we’ll help you spread the word.
As much as anything else ZapGuide is a great ride, so please buckle up and enjoy it!
