...this America has, and more. All worth a visit. But it must be noted that the President is approaching tourism from the wrong angle. He wants everyone to hustle out to Seattle. But this is clearly absurd. Why would anyone want to come to the United States for a "World's Fair." They can stay in the World...
Government cleaned most of them out as a protection to servicemen, U.S. sin centers have been relatively tame. But vice has prospered in the Mexican border towns, and today it is flourishing as never before. Of the estimated $700 million that visitors spent last year in making tourism Mexico's top industry, all but a couple of million was expended in such sleazy border towns as Mexicali, Matamoros, Ciudad Juárez and-liveliest of them all-Tijuana...
When Mintoff tried to boost tourism in order to help the economy, hurt by cutbacks at the British naval base, the Archbishop squelched a proposal to build a gambling casino and censured bikinis as immodest. Finally, left-leaning Mintoff threatened to seek economic aid from neutralist Egypt or Communist Yugoslavia.

While U.S. tourism is falling off in Europe, it is thriving in Asia. In the first six months of this year, U.S. visitors have raised Hong Kong's tourist rate 36% over the same period last year; tourism in Japan is up 31%. (Main reason for the big jump: the 52nd annual Rotary International Convention held in Japan last May.) Travel men predict that tourists in the Far East will increase their spending from last year's $200 million to $1 billion by 1968. Already under construction in Hong Kong are three new hotels, with a total...
