Panama City- Sports Illustrated will unveil their new swim suit edition next Tuesday.
This year, you may notice a few local backdrops.

The top secret photo shoot featured three models in Apalachicola and St. George Island.

The shoot took place in October of 2011. Officials from the area had to keep the photo shoot a secret until now.

They say the models posed on beaches, in shrimp boats, and in golf carts.

The swim suit edition of "Sports Illustrated" is estimated to be read by 70 million people worldwide.

Officials are hoping the international attention will put Franklin County on the map.

“Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition goes to destination locations. This really says that Apalachicola, St. George Island and Franklin County are destinations” said Mark Friedman, the local Chamber of Commerce President.

The Apalachicola Bay Chamber of Commerce is hoping to organize a launch party to celebrate next Tuesday.
