In yesterday's post I announced arrangements for the El Paso Heritage Tourism Summit on March 22, 2014. There are some meetings leading up to the event and some opportunities for volunteering.
Over the weekend, the El Paso Inc published this story: A ‘historic’ architecture event - El Paso Inc.: Local News.
Read it. Pay attention the numbers and the money spent by the tourists. The El Paso Heritage Tourism people are right. We are looking at a billion dollar industry. Now if we can just keep the Jerry Rubins of the city from tearing down any more Trost or other treasured historic buildings, we might have something for people to see and spend their billion dollars annually on El Paso. Maybe with the sales tax collected for heritage tourism, we can roll back the property taxes that are now killing us.
