DAYTONA BEACH With scenes of rumbling, smoke-belching monster trucks that turned the World’s Most Famous Beach into a war zone earlier this summer still fresh in their minds, Daytona Beach tourism leaders are looking to define a better long-term definition of the destination’s identity.

It’s not all positive.
“We don’t need another consultant,” said Gary Koliopoulos, longtime owner of Beach Express souvenir shop, a fixture for 30 years at the corner of South Atlantic and Harvey avenues. “We’ve got more consultant reports than we can shake a stick at.
