Kevin Meidl

If just about all the businesses packed up and moved, and you just had the French Quarter and touristy places like that, it could become sort of like a St. Augustine - a small town for tourists, ...

As long as the new investment is committed to bringing in new customers, for example more tourists, it will sustain itself. If the new investments intend to live off the existing market, then that is not a good sign. That is just splitting the pie. They just take away revenue.

Steve Bilyeu

Our goal is to put together a unique trip at an affordable price. We try hard to get exchanges going with students. There?s a clear cultural value. We?re part of the scenery, not tourists on a bus. It?s a person-to-person relationship.

Gary Robinson

We get a lot of tourists through there. There's a critical part of the nation's history sitting there.

Rajiv Saxena

You see the good things that you would take for granted about a place if you lived there. It's like when tourists come to London, they love it, where I just see traffic and drizzle.

Jon Huntsman

We told you, you could come up here and do whatever normal tourists do, and this is not what normal tourists do.

Rafael Goyeneche

There hasn't been a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work about the state in many, many years. We see this as being a great resource for scholars, journalists, tourists and those in the economic development field.

This event is very appreciated. The boutiques really saw a need for it. The ladies love it. I don't have to tell you that our population is exploding here. We get the residents and the tourists.

Olympia Devine

All the tourists we find really enjoy that 'cause it is the Australian barbecue.

Leonard Davis

Anthony Sanfilippo

We've only come as tourists to visit this beautiful country and see our friends that have come over to the U.S. before. The prime minister of Vietnam told President Bush that there is freedom here.

Robert Alminana

This had a tremendous impact on the aviation and tourism related sectors, bearing in mind that Europe produces 40 percent of all tourists to Sri Lanka.

Richard Anderson

So far the actions of these tourists is unclear, so to speak, and an investigation is being conducted.

Apichart Sankary

I feel this kind of incidents will certainly hit tourism in the state as tourists, especially foreigners take these matters very seriously.

The state of Nevada has a public safety responsibility for tourists, and that should be accounted when they are factoring the money.

Bonnie Smith

On a practical level, the design creates a new direct link to Governors Island for both tourists and Island workers from both Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. The system is very light, using only three supports, none of which stands in the water, so the shipping channels are left completely open.

Santiago Calatrava

It's had a big impact on the economy, especially as conventions have had to relocate. But by the end of the year, I think we are going to see recovery workers leaving and more venues opening up. I don't think tourists are going to give up on the city for long.

John Knox

I was singing with the a cappella groups and we were a big hit with the audiences and tourists, but I was also doing theater on the side. I would be talking to theater audiences afterward and I realized those theater audiences had never seen an a cappella group at a theme park before. They'd never heard anybody making music with just their voices.

René Ruiz

Since both its national products, snow and chocolate, melt, the cuckoo clock was invented solely in order to give tourists something solid to remember it by.

Alan Coren

Our happiest moments as tourists always seem to come when we stumble upon one thing while in pursuit of something else.

Lawrence Block

If we are going to subsidize the Yankees, we might as well subsidize Busch Gardens to bring tourists to town. There isn't any significant effect associated with spring training.

Dwayne Johnson

I quit flying years ago. I don't want to die with tourists.

Billy Bob Thornton

Mary Humstone

Growth and tourism go hand-in-hand. We get a lot of people who stop in as tourists, love the area and decide they want to live here.

Staca Hiatt

Each town has different services and the tourists need to know we are here for them.

John Felter

Our message is that tourists are still welcome. This is a peaceful city and there is no reason they should not come.

That's gonna be really good for our residents that can go back and forth and our tourists.

Our competitors and the state underestimated the depth of this market. We think it's a better market. We think Pittsburgh can bring in tourists from all over the country. Pittsburgh has the ability to do a lot better than what people are giving it credit for.

Abe Naparstek

These attractions can open in six months, but it's questionable whether there will be any tourists there by then. It's going to be years before the New Orleans tourist industry comes back.

Steve Baker

The summer looks dismal with the insurance adjusters, contractors and reconstruction crews going away and tourists not coming back.

Bill Langkopp

It's terrible. You'd think that they would keep it up, you know, the maintenance and everything because so many people are traveling in and out of Hawaii, and with all the tourists and everything.

Rose Marie

But with so many new sites per day over (in Britain), which means on our doorstep, the risk remains great: wind, thousands of tourists or trucks which cross the Channel every day can carry the virus to us.

Jean Glavany

To supply people for ages in camps makes no sense... You have to rebuild that cabana that they rent out to tourists on the weekend. They need help getting their fields repaired and their boats repaired.

Sam Worthington

[The marine park was established in 1979.] Many have marine parks, ... But Bonaire was the first island-wide marine park. When tourists came diving, they brought spear guns. We stopped allowing that. You either progress or regress -- there is no other way.

Don Stewart

Prayer for many is like a foreign land. When we go there, we go as tourists. Like most tourists, we feel uncomfortable and out of place. Like most tourists, we therefore move on before too long and go somewhere else.

Robert Mcafee Brown

The survey will give us a precise, in-depth picture of the tourists we attract and hope to attract. We'll learn about their preferences, attitudes and interests; the reasons they choose to go one place versus another.

Laurie Paolicelli

We make money on tourist, and if there are no tourists we won't make any money. So should we be concerned about our health or about making money?

Sandy Fong

Visits from tourists are not going to do it.

Mike Simpson

We have enough wineries that we can almost promote ourselves as a destination for wine tourists.

Charlie Gilson

If I want to drive crazy, I'll pay for it. If I want a SUV, I'll pay for it. What about the tourists?

Joel Brown

We've never done anything like this before. Our mission has always been to bring tourism to New York City. But the time is right for tourists to begin returning to New Orleans, and New Yorkers are always trendsetters.

Cristyne L. Nicholas

Just looking at the crowd it's certainly better than we ever dreamed six months ago. Mardi Gras was significant in ways we've never seen before. This has been a homecoming for locals and for our tourists as well.

Sandra Shilstone

The threat applies to tourists, as well.

Nick White

I've had people take pictures, ok. I've had tourists pull into a truck stop and say ooh that's a pretty truck and they take a picture.

It's off the beaten path for tourists. It takes a little bit of promotion to get people to come up here.

Ann Muscat

The restaurant I worked at closed. There were no tourists coming.

Victor Velasco

These are invaluable treasures to this nation and to the city. That's what drew all these tourists here over all these years.... The French Quarter clearly has a lot of damage to it from wind and some from water, but it may be that it is largely intact at least in terms of the structures.

Tom Foreman

Feeling great. Feeling good. Well, I hope they remember the songs. We'll do a bunch of 'em, try to get them out of the way, and then we'll work on the tourists after that.

Brandon Hogan

As far as tourists, (Worcester County) can't be beat.

Kevin Atticks

Trevor Rowe

The average tourist wants to go to places where there are no tourists.

I appreciate the due diligence of SAWS because our association is made up of hotels, restaurants, bars and other businesses along the River Walk. It looks like they are really trying to do this with the least amount of upset to our businesses and to the tourists.

Greg Gallaspy

Our country's policy offers the European airlines an open sky as well as a strong potential of growth because the additional tourists we want to lure here will be their passengers.

Karim Ghellab

People say the city will recover, and the question is, whose city? Is it the city that the tourists see or is it the broader city that really only came to the nation's consciousness after the hurricane?

Lawrence Vale

We knew that we had to bring in overseas tourists taking photos of them and admiring them before anybody would believe us.

Robert Mcgregor

The hoteliers were adding seed coral to let them grow for the tourists in glass-bottom boats.

Harinda Joseph Fernando

Signs should be up for sure because they -- I think that they're just doing it just because they want to have more tourists come down, which is not safe.

Sandy Fong

These routes are really hot, and it seems no matter how many airplane seats we book, we can sell them to that number of tourists.

Li Weimin

Both the hotel workers and their families, and the tourists, were fed and given water in food lines, ... Food and water were growing scarce. On the 30th, it was announced that 10 buses were on their way.

Fred Powell

And the MICE industry constituted 5 per cent, or RM1.5 billion, of that total. That calculation is extracted from embarkation cards filled by foreign tourists. The MICE industry is actually more than that.

Anthony Wong

Many of the tourists don't know the side streets. For the most part, people have to be patient.

Angelo Vaughn

By preserving these neighborhoods, we are creating a draw for tourists and that translates into an economic benefit for our community.

Ben Burroughs

Rising petrol prices and reduced domestic travel is a concern for regional Australia as few tourists will be passing through country towns, staying in local hotels and contributing to local economies and jobs.

Christopher Brown

We are not avid rail fans. We are essentially tourists travelling around the country to see things, using rail as the prime means of transport wherever possible.

John Chamberlin

There is a huge interest in antique automobiles everywhere across the country, ... This is the only major antique automobile museum between Little Rock, Ark., and Dallas, Texas, and believe me we will get plenty of travelers and tourists stopping in Texarkana just to tour our museum.

James Jamison

We discovered that many of our customers, after paying for the tour package that accounts for 30-50 per cent of their budgets, would spend most of the money on shopping, which is quite different to Western tourists' habit of spending on accommodations and services.

Sun Changwei

I saw a high level of urban development - streets, boulevards - public investment which I didn't expect. And it was not just where tourists go.

Arnon Begani

We have a feeling that we will have many tourists this year, because there are various games like ice-skiing. A lot of people visit this place and we feel we will be able to earn good revenue this year.

Mukhtar Ahmed

Galveston was the biggest city in Texas and second to New Orleans as the most important port on the Gulf Coast, ... The city started rebuilding right away, but was unable to convince investors to invest in Galveston. Now, it's just a town for tourists. That hurricane is the reason that Houston is the biggest city in Texas now.

Christopher Morris

If you walk around the area, you'll see tourists with the Michelin Green Guide walking through Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights. It seems to me there's a market there.

Rae Rosen

South Bend's problem has been that they have this cute little New England-looking town, nice houses on the hill overlooking the water and so on, and a zillion tourists zip through there every year, but there's nowhere for them to stop and nothing for them to do. When you sit down and analyze it, they have a lot of potential down there.

Chuck Maples

Our location will take full advantage of the I-15, St. Rose Parkway, and Las Vegas Boulevard corridors to attract both tourists and locals including residents of Southern Highlands, Silverado Ranch, Anthem, Seven Hills, Green Valley, and other surrounding communities.

Garry Goett

We're not really getting the tourists ? it's the people who are here every day, supporting these businesses.

Deborah Breen

The pageant was mobbed. And it's a good thing there were tourists because everyone in town was in it.

Peggy Baker

I give it six months to a year before it starts swinging hard enough to bring tourists in so that (musicians) can make a living. I'm quite sure all of the musicians can't wait to get back to New Orleans and make that progress.

Kermit Ruffins

I think that this is going to help change that perception in people's minds and that we're going to get tourists from all over the United States to come.

Bernie Marcus

Around 8 million tourists from all over Europe visited Ireland in 2005, and Dublin is one of the top four destinations in Europe. There is a lot that Indians will like there.

Jim Paul

They just kind of paired nicely. Mom really enjoyed sharing the background of his show and the story. She enjoyed sharing that with tourists.

Suzanne Jones

The January figures are encouraging and we are estimating that we will get a record 600,000 tourists this year.

Prathap Ramanujam

Homeowners who live here nine months of the year and go home to escape the heat of our summers are not tourists.

Nancy Stewart

There's no reason why this area shouldn't have been taken care of already — it's where the money is. If you want to get people back to work, get this area open, and the tourists, the curiosity-seekers, will want to come back and see what happened.

Frank Redmond

We don't expect this to result in a downturn in tourists to London.

Frances Tuke

The college kids and tourists are all over the Beach right now.

Angelo Vaughn

Aruba is not Cuba, North Korea or Iraq. We are friends with America. Most tourists come from the United States and we work together to combat drugs criminality and money laundering.

Nelson Oduber

It's very common to find tourists that pick their travel destination based on where the brewery is, and actually travel from brewery to brewery.

Colin Kaminski

Saturdays we always have a lot of browsers -- teachers and tourists.

Dave Craig

[Irving, who once called the Auschwitz death camp a] Disneyland for tourists, ... an active Holocaust denier ... anti-Semitic and racist.

Charles Gray

In a normal year, we sell one million hurricanes. This year, it's way lower than that. Instead of tourists, the crowds were mostly locals and they're busy spending on Sheetrock and insulation.

Rupert Gwaltney

It's a very big part of our history. It has always been music for our tourist industry and that's where it really came out from, this idea of writing songs and performing songs in English so that the tourists could understand.

Vicky Holt Takamine

An airport can respond (to the threat) by offering cheaper landing fees, better duty-free shopping, access to world-class business, entertainment facilities and other incentives to make airlines and tourists want to come.

Shukor Yusof

The existing mainland policy remains intact. We are more than willing to talk with Beijing without any preconditions on visits by China's tourists and chartered cargo flights.

James Huang

It's to get the tourists in.

Gladys Hansen

I was pleased that we've agreed to work together to deepen significantly the flows of investment, technology, and tourists in both directions.

I also went on a tour of the White House, visited the tourist's spots, including all the monuments, then went to New York to have lunch with former press secretary, Dede Myers.

Allison Janney

A rapid change of weather forced several rocks to tumble and slide down the gradient. The rocks hit a group of tourists who were en route to the peak and three were killed.

The departure of the ships marks another step forward in the region's recovery. In the fall, the cruise ships will return with tourists who will help boost the local economy and help the great city of New Orleans continue to rebuild.

Gil Jamieson

The success of Hollywood & Highland has brought scores of Los Angeles residents back to Hollywood Boulevard for shopping, dining and entertainment. This, coupled with the large number of tourists, has given the area a significant daytime and nighttime population.

Shaul Kuba

I want to show (tourists) my state needs help. I'm saying, please don't forget us.

Isabelle Cossart

On Thanksgiving, we were fixing dinner in the back and we had a whole group [of tourists] in. That still throws me. You know it, you just keep forgetting it.

Pat Lampkin

This is a tremendous boost for Augusta. The homes are beautiful and this is a great way to attract more tourists to the area.

Phil Weber

This meets demand from more discerning Chinese tourists who want to visit more destinations during one trip.

Chanaka Olagama

Hopefully it won't be much more expensive for tourists. But we're trying to accommodate -- I call it -- the Orlando tourist.

Bill Geary

Where we used to just look at the visitor as a whole, now we are breaking it down to families, youth groups, school groups, tourists, tour groups, ... A family is going to be reached differently from a school group.

Brian Henson

Going into the carnival season, we really didn't know what to expect. But it has been heartwarming ? the support tourists have shown for our city.

Sandra Shilstone

Mardi Gras is a very good time for the city to invite visitors to come and see that New Orleans is open and ready to receive tourists. We were determined to be a part of that invitation and to help deliver the fun and excitement that people expect when they arrive.

Anthony Sanfilippo

There will be about 12,000 participants from 70 separate countries. With tourists, partners of the competitors and volunteers, there should be 100,000 people in the city associated with the Games.

Kevin Boyer

A lot of tourists stay after the festival. They could go visit local galleries on Monday.

Connie Acevedo

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

One of the motivations for doing this was to have a positive effect in getting the kind of people we want to have as customers downtown, in coming here. It's hard to measure that and to know if the tourists who arrived came because of the Art Market, but we do see people walking around with the brochures.

Gaynette Larue

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

The economy of this whole county depends on tourists. I know we have wonderful weather and wonderful other stuff, but let me tell you something: If we don't have decent stuff for tourists to see, they're going to stop coming.

Margaret Griffin

When you see estimates of New Orleans not getting power back or water flowing for six or eight months, that is not the part of the city where tourists go.

Stephen Perry

More tourists visit Thailand because of its reliable airline system. Bali, while renowned worldwide, lags behind in terms of its airline network, despite being competent in other fields.

Where President Bush was, like they showed on TV, was in the city with hotels. The place we were at was not a place where tourists would go at all.

Ray Kinsman

(Tourists) spent several hours in the cold this morning with little more than their night clothes on.

Jessica Sanchez

We are looking at tourists as gods. If Japanese people come to India, we treat them as gods.

Gopalakrishnan Venkataraman

Anything that deters tourists from coming to a place would affect it, but not knowing the circumstances it is hard to react now.

William Weidner

If we take all of the forts and the lines and make it into one thing then we will really have something for tourists and schoolchildren. But we are in danger of losing all that.

Mike O'donnell

[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

About 40 percent of luxury goods sales in Hong Kong are to Japanese and Chinese mainland travelers. Those sales are also concentrated around some key national holidays, including the Golden Week annual Japanese holiday, which falls this year from April 29 to May 5, and the Labor Holiday week in China from May 1 to May 9. But sales could reduce significantly from the shortfall of tourists.

Sagra Maceira De Rosen

By tearing down more and more of the historic fabric of Palm Springs, you are eliminating those historic modern elements that bring tourists to the city.

Peter Moruzzi

Eric Kober

Heritage is a word that's international, and I want to link the Heritage Trail tour with the proposed commuter rail line coming through the county, ... We have 181 historical sites in the county, and I envision drawing tourists to the county to see them.

Eldrin Bell

If no tourists came, we'd still have Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is a state of mind.
