We're punching CRAZY FAR above our weight when talking about convention business in the US domestic market. NYC, Chicago, Vegas, Orlando, DC, Atlanta and Dallas are all premier destinations for the largest events. That we're included in that list is kind of stunning. |
I was thinking the same thing. The top 5 are obvious and to be so close to that list is simply big time. I am surprised none of California's big cities are mentioned or ahead of Austin. I've lived here since '81 and know how great Austin is, but for some reason I still don't see why Austin is so popular as a tourist or convention attraction. For my limited attention span, there's not enough attractions to make me want to visit if I didn't live here. That's kind of weird and ironic I guess, I would live here but I wouldn't visit here if I didn't. Apparently its a good thing the rest of the world doesn't think like me.
