Daytona Beach
Visitors' Choice Awards 2022

The Visitors’ Choice Awards, which recognizes some of visitors’ most beloved attractions and businesses, was determined through a survey that was sent to thousands of Daytona Beach area visitors in the CVB’s database and promoted through its social media channels. The 20 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.
