It is also the advice of officials UTAH - Hotel Utah April 5, 1957 830 a.m. PROGRAM can Express offices abroad and quoted in a survey just issued and entitled. What You Will Find in Europe this Spring and Summer. Official spokesmen for Austria, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, France Germany, Great Britain, Greece Italy, Ireland, Luxembourg The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Yugoslavia report that American tourists will find transportation, hotel accomodations, heat, hot water and sightseeing arrangements generally normal, while all other necessities of modem tourism are in full supply. Gasoline rationing and driving restrictions have been abandoned in all Western European countries except France and Great Britain, where special arrangements are made for American visitors to obtain ample gasoline. In Luxembourg, for instance, a 43 mile speed limit, imposed as a conservation measure, has been lifted! Hotel accomodations have been improved generally since last summer. The representatives reporting assure plenty of hot water and heat and plenty of food. In coach and sightseeing, schedules have been increased with more special events to attract tourists. As elsewhere in the world, prices are reported as slightly higher than last year in most countries. In view of the significance of the American tourist to the European economy, it is hardly surprising that these nations have moved swiftly to insure the comfort and conveniences of their overseas guests. A year ago Mr. Reed pointed out that the spending of American visitors abroad' which he called our Point 5 prohad outdistanced the gram U.- S. Gevernments Point Four efforts. Where the Government spent $36, said Mr. Reed, American travellers spent $100! In Great Britain, for example, he says, tourism was the top dollar earner in 1956, bringing in more than $134 million compared with $76 million earned on machinery exports and $71 mill- ion compared with $71 million on Scotch whiskey.
