I’m curious, what kind of tourism do you think we could attract in big numbers?
We don’t have the year-round weather of the big theme park meccas (Orlando, San Antonio, San Diego/Anaheim).
We don’t have much in the way of beautiful architecture and history (Charleston, Savannah, Asheville)
And we don’t have the size of most cities that have a high density of really strong cultural attractions (keeping it in the Sun Belt - Atlanta, Phoenix, Houston)
I like Raleigh, it’s a really nice place to live, but for tourist dollars it’s hard to see any one area outside of college sports where it really stands out. It’d take a LOT of investment to make it happen.
