Daytona Beach
Visitors' Choice Awards

The Visitors’ Choice Awards, which recognize some of the visitors’ most beloved attractions and businesses, were determined through a survey sent to thousands of Daytona Beach-area visitors in the CVB’s database and promoted on its social media channels. The different category selections and top suggestions were based solely on DaytonaBeach.com analytics and other key data points, and each category allowed for “write-in” submissions.
