Miami resident Greg Mishler, left, looks over the beach toward rain moving in his direction as he and his children Phoebe, 13, bottom right, and Ross, 10 and their friend Brooke Herena play in the sand in front of the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club on Thursday in Naples. At a Tourist Development Council meeting this week, two hoteliers said they've seen advance bookings fall off significantly because of the oil spill. The TDC is looking for the tourism bureau to come up with a more aggressive marketing campaign, which would tap reserve or emergency funds for the crisis. Lexey Swall/Staff
