Tourism Workshop Offered For Services Personnel Tourism will become a $1 billion industry in Utah by 1975 according to estimates of the Utah Travel Council.

Covered in the workshops will be information on Utah State attractions, local attractions, the personality of the tourist and hospitality techniques. Why the drive to boost tourism in Utah? Well, did you know that of nine western states, Utah is: 1st in number of National Parks ( it actually has more than 48. states and ties in number with the' other one), 2nd in number of National Monuments and 4th in number of National Forests. Yet Utah is: 7th in receipts from tourists, 8th in annual employment em-ployment in hotels and other lodging, lodg-ing, and 6th in overnight visits to National Parks. What will more tourism mean? It will mean more jobs, increased increas-ed salaries, employment stability, stabil-ity, better roads, better schools, improved communities, a great place to live. . . and the tourist takes nothing with him but memories. mem-ories.
