Tourism development and prosperity for Nevada inspired and encouraged by Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt of Nevada By Tiffany Chang and PAI of WBTI*1"The Nevada Commission on Tourism (NCOT) has approved $1 million in grants to help rural communities promote attractions, adventures and special events that draw visitors and feed local economies," stated in the Press Release from the Office of Governor Kenny Guinn on July 1, 2004.*2 According to the above Press Release: "The Rural Tourism Grants make it possible for rural communities with limited resources to purchase advertising and promotional materials such as maps and brochures, create videos and DVDs, maintain Web sites, obtain professional services to develop visitor attractions, participate in travel industry trade shows and engage in other tourism-building activities." "The success of the Rural Tourism Grants is remarkable," Lt Gov. Lorraine Hunt, NCOT chair, said.*3 "Visitor volume, convention business, and room occupancy have risen significantly in rural Nevada, and I am confident these grants will continue to enhance Nevada’s position as a global tourist destination." Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada reminds us that tourism is the bedrock of Nevada's economy. To expand and diversify our domestic and international markets are absolutely essential to our long-term economic growth and stability.*4 The annual "Governor's Conference on Tourism" was held by the Governor at Caesears Palace on December 15-17. He joined the members of the Commission on Tourism to examine the latest tourism industry issue and trends. The theme was "Celebrating Deversity". It was chosen to draw attention to Nevada's efforts to broaden both its tourism product and market. The Conference on December 15-17 was held in celebrating the diversity that would make the Silver State a perennial leader in worldwide tourism. Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Govenor Lorraine Hunt said that Nevada's tourism industry must continue to expand its offerings and reach out to diverse markets that range from outdoor enthusiasts to residents of the world's most populous nation. Speaking at the general session of the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace, he and she each praised Nevada's continuing efforts to supplement its gaming-based core with non-gaming amenities such as shopping, dinning, and outdoor recreation.*5 "I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism." In mid-October, the second top official of the State of Nevada and Nevada Commission on Tourism Exective Director Bruce Bommarito led an approximately 20-member delegation of state tourism, hotel, and private industry representatives on a ten days tour through Beijing, Hong Kong, Macau, and Shanghai. Governor Guinn expresses that he can not overemphasize the significance and importance of bringing attention to all the attractions to Nevada at a time when it faces unprecedented competition for gaming customers. He believes that we are wise to expand our marketing efforts and focus on developing markets in places such as Asia. It is significant for him to point out that in addition to gaming, Nevada has phenomenal cultural, historic, and recreational resources that we must continue to promote. The Governor emphasizes that for our state's economy to thrive, all of the Silver State's tourism opportunities must be effectively marketed to both domestic and international visitors.*6 Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt points out that she sees the will in the Chinese people and elected officials to make more opportunities and conviences for them to travel America. "They know they want to participate in the world economy," said the Lt. Governor. In addition to the efforts of the City, County, and State of Nevada, Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) has dedicated to help promote the cooperation and development of culture, education, and tourism among Asian countries and Nevada since its establishment on January 8, 1996. With Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt's inspiration, WBTI and Sally Yu assisted successfully the establishments of the Sister States of Qinghai of China and Nevada, and the Sister Cities of Jiayuguan of China and North Las Vegas. WBTI has been honored by China Business Chain, Inc. (CBCI), Shangshai Development and Municipal Government Cooperation Office (SPMGCO), and China State Development and Planning Commission as Organzer of Nevada Expo Mission to China. WBTI is also invited by Xiamen, Fuchien, China to organize a team with high-ranking officials for both educational and business cooperation and development Between Nevada and Fukien. U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkely, Nevada Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt, and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman have been invited as its honorable Chairpersons.*7 Lt. Governor Hunt also plans to work with Nevada's congressional delegation to improve the likelihood of opening the travel corridors between the United States and China. Members of the Civil Aviation Administration of China agreed to study the feasibility of direct air service to and from Las Vegas, as well as cargo flights through Reno/Tahoe International Airport. An Office in Beijubg will be opened by the Nevada tourism commission in March 2004 to further develop the Chinese market. In reference to separate resort now being developed by Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts, Lt. Governor Hunt pointed that, "With all of the Nevada gaming companies's casino projects going up in Macau, we're definitely on the Chinese radar." Dr. Bill Eadington, Professor of University of Nevada, Reno, addressed the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace that the profitability of Wynn Las Vegas and the continuing transformation of the California tribal casino market are the biggest question marks facing the Las Vegas economy. "People are attracted to Las Vegas when there's something spectacular to see, " Professor Eadington said.*8 Impressed by the Chinese tourists' saying that "If you didn't visit Las Vegas, you didn't visit America," we need to put more efforts and wisdom together for the development and prosperity of our tourism through the multiple cooperation of construction industry, business organizations, cultural facilities, and educational institutions in Nevada. "Through the perspectives by the nature and in reality, effective lauching for our tourism on the Chinese markets will be more practical with an enphasis on the cooperation and development of business, cultural, and education among China, Malaysia, Sigapore, and Taiwan. We can't just expect them to come for visit or gaming. Good programs such as CBM, CEH, CPAM, etc. in education and business for them by the time at their visiting will be reallly one of the strenuous and fruitful reasons for many people to come to Nevada," said Dr. Tony Lei, Peresident of Washington Business and Technology Institute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References *1.
