Baby boomers are coming of age and have lots of leisure time and money to spend on heritage and cultural tourism. Some are looking to rediscover their roots. Some are interested in genealogy and how their forebears came to this country. Other people have traveled globally, so they're more interested in ethnic enclaves at home -- the food, sites, sounds and tastes.
Rich Harrill
Museums are one of the top tier tourism draws in the country. How well a particular museum does, of course, depends on what is unique about it, what people can see there that they can't see anywhere else.
Steve Powell
Sure, it's essential I believe because it is one of these economic stimulants. There are so many areas in our state that we ought to be able to promote. I think they probably haven't come at us with much oomph either or it's been the same old message, but I've always been very receptive to the whole idea of tourism.
Sen. Margarita Prentice
We make no use of Rock Creek right now as an asset for our tourism and economy in general.
Rod Proffitt
We're going to drive the people off the land who have been living on it and working it for generations. It's going to destroy our No. 1 industry: tourism.
Tom Thomson
Most locals understand, but some don't. The reason why we enjoy the lifestyle we do is because of our tourism-based economy, ... I think it stands to reason that that's why visitor centers exist in any community it's that you hope to have that kind of a sales impact on a visitor coming through to get them to stay a day longer.
Deborah Lewis
It's a tourism issue. It's a cultural issue and it's an economic issue for us.
Andrew Rudnick
We believe that the direct loss of jobs related to travel and tourism has been close to 3 million.
Kevin Murphy
If you look at the natural dispositions of the economies, a union does not make sense. Their economy has an agricultural basis and ours relies a great deal on tourism.
Milo Djukanovic
It is Illinois agriculture, ... with some manufacturing and perhaps a little bit of tourism. It is not an urban area.
Timothy Collins
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
Guy Debord
We're excited about the prospects. Our community realizes that there's a good return on our investment in tourism promotion - and that affects all different industries.
Rob Perlman
The Royal Family's popularity in the USA, as well as royal heritage and our historic palaces and attractions, will help us encourage support for British tourism and remind consumers that there is still plenty of reason to visit Britain.
Tom Wright
Nevada once again has shown double digit increases in tax revenue, ... Nevada continues to show economic stability with its desirable business climate and booming tourism sector.
Kenny Guinn
We put aside individual concerns and worked together. We called it patriotic tourism.
Jonathan Tisch
It'll help our tourism a ton. People are already talking about seeing that movie and the fact that the vistas are absolutely beautiful, and we want to make sure nothing impedes individuals from having a look at that.
Joe Connelly
We haven't been getting the results in leads as we have in the past. What we've had has been a shotgun approach. The bottom line is (branding) will make us more marketable. The last five years the face of tourism has changed, and we've got to get out there and do a better job.
Del Horton
I think it's a general malaise and it's affecting all parts of the (Michigan) economy. Tourism will be affected; I think people are being hit and in winter, they will be hit more than their paychecks have grown. I see nothing that will help this economy, short of big tax cuts.
David Littmann
There must be something that the established tourism community in the region can do in this regard and we will meet to see what proposals come up.
William Ross
I think we've got the right foundation down to be able to put Best Westerns along that tourism route. It could become an important destination route for world travelers. It runs through the heart and soul of Russia.
Bob Gilbert
It shows, when the tourism industry speaks with a single voice, it can be heard and with an impact.
Thomas Ferguson
The idea here is that those people won't have far to go to come visit the prisons museum. Frankly, we were a little stunned when we started putting those numbers together and started realizing the potential of this particular area. That in itself, we think, is a fabulous thing. This part of (greater) Kansas City is going to be a tourism area.
Chris Becicka
As a country we tend to think of eco-tourism as always over there. It doesn't necessarily have to be that way, especially when you have places like the Grand Canyon. We're just not thinking of it as much as a country.
John Ivanko
The goal is to serve the global travel and tourism industry by making the .travel registry site as user friendly as possible.
Ron Andruff
The proximity is still close, and it's still a draw from a tourism aspect. And being at the home of one of our league institutions, whatever team from our league and its fans come here will know the lay of the land.
Chris Jackson
It has an overarching impact on the state in terms of attracting tourism, attracting conventions and attracting businesses that want to make their home here. It is very unfortunate that the governor has chosen to scapegoat a minority group in this way.
Christina Gilgor
If we have only one incident or outbreak in Florida, that would likely trigger national attention and have a chilling effect on the tourism industry.
Rep. Nancy Detert
Our cultural tourism industry was a $9 billion industry in the state before the storms hit. We led the nation in utilizing our culture.
Gerard Perron
If it's a good tourism season, there'll be some hiring done at our stores. Tourism drives (hiring) to a larger degree, so yes, we will be doing some hiring for the summer.
Anne Roman
Some visionaries -- certainly Charles Frazier was a visionary -- saw the potential for this area, and now that potential is starting to happen. As we've said 90,000 times, it's all about location. For freight and tourism it's a great location, near both Savannah and Charleston. It's a crossing point.
Ginnie Kozak
This job is well-suited for people who want to work hard. Some of the people who work here just love horses and some are interested in travel and tourism. But many are here because of the location in the mountains and the experience of moving to a western state.
Alan Thompson
Tourism carries a tremendous potential that must be acknowledged as essential for the future of world heritage. But without proper management, we can easily get out of control.
Bonnie Burnham
Bob cares a lot about the success of Cocoa Beach. He's a regular guy who isn't afraid of hard work. Let me tell you -- it was very difficult for the tourism industry after Sept. 11. We were hurting.
Rob Varley
At the trade fair, we'll seize all opportunities to boost our export, tourism, and attract more investors and visitors from China and other members of ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations).
Anoumone Kittirath
It's something they've never tried on with the British media, ... There's been quite an effort, and it's a question of who's doing whom a favor, to be honest - whether it's the Americans doing the royals and the British tourism industry a favor, or whether we're doing you a favor by sending you the heir to our throne.
Stephen Bates
Well an increase in tourism to the Park City area, the mayor shouldn't scoff at that. Bringing people to this area with Wild West World and possibly a casino addition at the track would be greatly beneficial.
Phil Ruffin
We're going to see a variety of passengers. There will certainly be corporate consumers, there will also be people going there for tourism.
Robert Atkinson
Tourism demand for Portland has never been greater. The average occupancy for Portland's downtown hotels last year was nearly 75 percent. Overall, our downtown hotel occupancy grew 9 percent in 2005. That's 6 percent higher than the national average.
Joe D'alessandro
Our budget is about $5 million a year to advertise tourism nationwide. That's not much.
Sandy Shilstone
It might seem trivial to be discussing Mardi Gras at this point, but when you consider what Mardi Gras is to tourism and what tourism is to New Orleans, it's very, very important.
Barry Kern
I think the city has wakened up to the fact that tourism is its last great hope.
John Keefe
On one hand we have received more budget allocation for tourism promotion, we will also need skilled professionals to advance its growth. More hotel management institutes will ensure more trained staff to the hotel industry. And that will lead to further growth in the sector.
Ambika Soni
That's hundreds of thousands of dollars in tourism marketing that goes into all of those markets that brings tourism dollars back to Brown County and the surrounding area. That's a big part of this.
R. Perry Kidder
His (Pelzer) particular area of expertise is sales and marketing, and that is an important part of tourism promotion. Ellie is equally admired and respected in the community.
Sal Giametta
Putting tourism on a sustainable path is a major challenge, requiring partnership and cooperation within the tourism industry, and between the industry, governments and tourists themselves.
Klaus Toepfer
Cultural tourism is big business.
Barbara Perry
Our proposal knocks the ball out of the park ... and would be a major attraction for more industry and tourism.
Scott Rechler
You need to do this if you want the region to have a real knowledge economy, which results in high-wage jobs. Or we will just have a service economy that depends on tourism.
Rob Melnick
Not only will it provide locals a new income and draw tourism, but it will show people that this forest is an asset to us. They can make more money in this forest the way it is than if they cut it down to grow sweet potatoes.
Tommy House
Only the next few weeks will determine whether tourism will begin rebounding in late October or early November, or whether it is pushed into early next year.
Stephen Perry
This will be driven by the consumer experience. Before we commit, we need to know more about the market and what the needs of the hotel and tourism industry are. Our meeting is more on the fact-finding level than anything else.
Mark O'malley
Our city's tourism industry, which is now enjoying record highs, was revitalized with help and support from the many patriotic tourism visitors who traveled to New York following September 11th. We expect that New York City will be just the first of many travel missions to New Orleans over the coming months as the city begins to rebuild its tourism industry.
Cristyne L. Nicholas
Several hotels have made arrangements to bring in tourists under all-inclusive package and scrapping it without due consideration might adversely affect the tourism industry.
Morris Dzoro
Our parks system has so much potential that we ignore and we should be stepping up to the plate and making sure it's a draw in terms of tourism and not an embarrassment.
Sen. Pamela Resor
It's good for the state. It's going to create tourism, it's going to create a boom financially.
Michael Wasserman
The chamber is there to promote individual businesses, ... The tourism commission is charged with setting the foundation.
Andrew Barbour
Furthermore, it provides us with the flexibility of increasing the scope and breadth of our resort attractions and our retail and lifestyle offerings based upon market conditions such as increasing population growth, locals- oriented trends, and continued strength in the tourism and convention markets.
Garry Goett
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Belize and the Republic of China in 1989, Taiwan has been good to Belize. Over the years, the ties of friendship have been strengthened through a dynamic technical agricultural mission and economic cooperation in the housing and infrastructural development, trade, investment and tourism promotion.
Said Musa
We've looked at the pros and cons of tourism. Some people don't really want to see any change ? but with almost 100 citizens volunteering time or money toward the fundraising campaign, I'm confident that going ahead with the center is the right thing.
Carol Scott
'Railroading in a barn' was the expression they used, ... They'd get all the way here, and the view was shut out. The sheds were not very popular for tourism.
Gordon Richards
Unfortunately in tourism, perception is reality. Because if a tourist or visitor perceives it unsafe they are not going to come. So we've got to deal with both. I think the reality is we have a crime problem and we have to deal with it.
Sandra Miller
Each of these participants in the Tourism - Caring for America project has experienced firsthand the devastation that photographs and feature stories cannot possibly communicate. For the volunteers, the blisters, sun burns and bug bites will heal within a week, but we'll cherish forever the opportunity to contribute and all the memories and friendships created.
Bruce Beckham
The city felt it was very important to work with Craig and come up with ways to solve the issues he had. The biggest impact is what it does for our tourism industry and all the things associated with it, such as hotels, restaurants, rental cars and gift shops.
Dave Roderique
We are extremely fortunate. With Leonard, we have someone with proven ability to guide our growth, and, at the same time, extend our brand within the Hawaii tourism market.
Clyde Guinn
It's tourism day on the hill for us.
Ruthie Reinert
It's too early to say, but the damage (to the tourism industry) is potentially in the tens of millions of dollars.
Chris James
[The US is losing billions of dollars as international tourists are deterred from visiting the US because of a tarnished image overseas and more bureaucratic visa policies ...] It's an economic imperative to address these problems, ... If we don't address these issues in tourism, the long-term impact for American brands Coca-Cola, General Motors, McDonald's could be very damaging.
Roger Dow
If this happens, then the whole purpose of the A-tax . is basically moot. The system was designed to increase the tax base by driving tourism.
Frans Mustert
U.S. travel businesses and organizations must move quickly to realize the value of their industry-exclusive .travel Internet domain in the global context. Protecting our nation's valuable tourism assets can be done by simply registering them with their .travel domain names.
Ron Andruff
I tried to prepare myself but was shocked to find the devastation as bad as it was. However, I was proud to see the giving and commitment of people in the tourism industry.
Erin Smith
Only a few eccentric, wealthy people will experience space tourism prior to 2020. It (2020) may be a little too soon.
Eileen Kennedy
Seventy per cent of Kenya's tourism revenue is wildlife-centred.
Edward Indakwa
Tourism has been a very big business in Thailand. There are very few Third World countries where things are so affordable, but so organized to make it so effortless for you to do what you want to do.
Edward Hasbrouck
I think that it eliminates the doubt that many people might have (had) about the general feeling about the tourism industry.
