Tourist Travel a
I I I .
I * Undimmrshed g
A (Richmond, Ky., Register)
TRANGE as it seems, tourist travel
S has been affected very slightly by the
last two years of economic stress.
Travel is being maintained in volume i
quite close to that of the peak attained
when more favorable conditions pre- L
vailed, according to data of the trans- if
portation division of the department of {
commerce. ,
Tourist travel within the United `
States actually increased in 1930 and +
193 l, although fewer Americans traveled
abroad. Numbers who have hitherto
looked to Europe for their recreation are
said to have curtailed vacation costs by {
travel within the United States, visiting
@ @ § 7 resorts and points of interest within their
own nation. 3
More than three-quarters of a billion ,
dollars was spent last year for recreation
motor travel within the United States, Q
according to the American Automobile {
Association. The number of visitors at
the national parks increased 14 per cent
in 1931 over the preceding year, as
with gl Sltgutg 3,153,00Q persons turned to the parks
. for diversion.
full @1f m@]@Y Such authentic statements from sources
attrglgtiwms that lmay be regarded as reliable indicate ;
_ unmistakably that the tourist crop 1S one
· both SQQMIQ of lthe few tha; has not been curtailed in f
. . vo ume or ro t. Tourist travel in Ken- ‘
and hlsltglrlg tucky lgas Fontinued to increase in recent Y
years, ringing into the State vast sums
of money.
There are those who are under the im- i-
pression that unfavorable conditions have `
resulted in a diminution of tourist travel. g
@5 Yet it seems that such is not the case. 'It
continues to be a source of substant1al
_ income to those states that successfully Q
fm} g exploit their inducelmenjts. £(entt;clf)y will ig
- continue to reap t e ene ts o avmg r
Zjmz/Zi S I pulgicized lger tourist atgacltions. _
· . ne can ut won er w et er intensity ;;
gf the over-publicized economic distress .
as not been unduly magnified. Hard Y`
times cannot be so hard in a nation where
pleasure travel remains undiminished. {

Mr. C. Frank Dunn, Editor, _
Kentucky Progress Magazine, Q
Frankfort, Kentucky. Q
Dear Mr. Dunn: h
I should write you a letter every month ~§
and congratulate you on each issue of the Kentucky Progress ‘;
Magazine. But, as you know, I do not do it. On the y
other hand, however, I publish some favorable comment on ,{
your Magazine in nearly every issue of The Filson Club _;
History Quarterly. Your Magazine deserves all the praise
it receives. .
I look upon your publication - and so do many others ~ ,
as a Kentucky Patriotic Magazine. It does much toward ti
arousing, through its history and its resources, a love *
among Kentuckians for their State - in the meantime it is j
also carrying out its announced purpose to "Advertise v'
Kentucky to the World." I congratulate you. I some- ={
times wonder whether or not you realize what a splendid {
work you are doing, not only in arousing an interest in J
Kentucky history but also in helping preserve it. “{
The Register of the Kentucky State Historical Society N
and The Filson Club History Quarterly are doing much in p
the line of gathering and preserving Kentucky history.
Their material, as you know, is more for the student of
history. The Kentucky Progress Magazine makes it appeal ,
to those who do not take up history seriously but are I
nevertheless much interested in reading what others have Q
gathered and published. J
And now come reports that the Legislation may consider {
the question of discontinuing the Magazine because of the I
expense involved! It strikes me that "economy" of that
sort would be a bad blow to the love-of—state work you `
have been promoting. Here's hoping the Magazine will con-
tinue for many years, and that it will soon be found in
_every home in the State. I
Sincerely,
+»
