Increasing Business-Related Tourism in Philadelphia
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper assessing factors that tourism promoters in Philadelphia should consider in attempting to increase business-related tourism in that city. The paper discusses the economic benefits of tourism and the need for the local community to be involved in the effort, and presents Las Vegas and Hickory, North Carolina as examples of the benefits of business-related tourism. Ensuring a clean, safe environment is the first step toward attracting greater numbers of business travelers. City planners need to ensure that downtown areas are filled with small service businesses rather than empty storefronts. With the city taking the lead, local hotels may begin forming alliances such as those between otherwise unaffiliated hotels in Las Vegas. The adage, "Success breeds success" survives because of the truth contained within it. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
