Las Vegas will benefit from Travel Promotion Act
KTNV, 3/9/2010 - Las Vegas, NV - Tourism has taken a hit in Southern Nevada.
"It's been a tough year, particularly for domestic U-S travelers to come to Las Vegas," says Gary Selesner, the President of Caesars Palace. "The one segment growing has been international."
But international tourists are in high demand. Since 9-11, 68 million fewer visitors have come to this country.
That's partly why the travel promotion act was created, so the U-S can market itself.
"We collectively can no longer leave it to the states or corporations," says MGM Mirage Marketing Director Bill Hornbuckle. "Everyone needs to participate."
"This is a great assist for us, because we're going to have millions of dollars of advertising helping convince tourists to come to this country and by extension, Las Vegas," adds Selesner.
