Geese man, who cares where they come from, 50+ million is 50+ million, and as long as their money is green I don't care if they come from the moon. Perceptions are not changed over night. Start with your neighbors, convince them to visit, then move outward from there. Maybe if even more people from Michigan and Wisconsin visit Choose Chicago will get a bigger budget to go after tourists in Shanghai or Dubai or wherever you'd rather they come from. Conde Nast (very much a NYC company) just listed Chicago as the #1 American city to visit, so to call the efforts of people promoting Chicago an ABSOLUTE failure is a bit unfair.
