The Destination In Atlantic City

The Las Vegas and Atlantic City locations have lost revenues in recent years. In addition to the economic slowdown, these gambling locations are also facing new competitors in the market that are providing attractive choices to the customers. Though there are some external forces beyond their control, it seems that attractiveness and accessibility are very important focus areas for these cities.

Social action describes actions taken by an individual to make a difference in a community. The most rewarding type of social action is through education. That is exactly what Heather Perez, archivist for the Atlantic City County Library, intended to do through a new exhibit called, “The Atlantic City Experience: La Ciudad Atlántica.” Perez, a former archivist for the Smithsonian, has been working at the library for over nine years. Her passion for history and knowledge, guided her to Atlantic City. Understanding the life of an archivist, Perez wanted the opportunity to interact with people and find historical facts about their families, ancestors, and cultures. She stated that she was “drawn to helping people find things.” The Atlantic City County library gives her those opportunities everyday. Her dedication to helping people learn through history, made her a great candidate for this assignment.

Long before the Florida Turnpike and the Interstate Highway System ramped up to full speed and swampland in Central Florida was paved over, Florida tourist venues and roadside attractions were an eclectic mix of fun, imagination, intrigue and amazement for everyone. From reptile farms, tropical gardens and aquatic springs to dolphin shows, old west towns and museums of the unique and strange, tourists visiting Florida were able to catch, either by design or on a whim, these venues, as they rolled down US highways 1,19, 41, 301 and all the off-the-beaten-path back roads. But as time marched on, so did the tourist, as they stayed on the interstate and headed for Orlando, to see what all the hub-bub was about in the early 1970s. The venues and attractions may be long gone, but they are not forgotten, as memories of the wonderful tourist and roadside attractions that were a piece of Florida history, are recalled.

The Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce does a hell of a job putting together a yearly brochure advertising how great the city is. It argues that tourists from all over America should forsake sunny Florida or the hustle of New York for a visit to a quaint pair of Pennsylvania cities.

I've been reading about Atlantic City's history recently, checking out books from the library like Boardwalk of Dreams, The Northside : African Americans and the creation of Atlantic City, and Casino gaming in Atlantic City : a thirty year retrospective, 1978-2008. I'm trying to figure out why the South Inlet looks like a 50 year old urban renewal project that ran out of cement 40 years ago, while the casinos have raked in $120 billion dollars over the last 35 years. Riding down Pacific Avenue near the lighthouse you see whole blocks cleared out with an occasional house sticking out, some new construction, and a few stray tourists who got lost and wandered off the Boardwalk.

Some people enjoy nature and like to discover what it has to offer. Ocean City has plenty of unique things in wildlife that might interest people who are faun of nature. The beach is filled with entertainment from surfing, to swimming, to just enjoying the summer sun and catching good vibes from the peace of the beach. The entertainment is endless boating and fishing along the coast are main interest. There’s also watersports available along with amusement rides like mini golfing or shopping along the Tanger outlets. Another thing that not many people know about Ocean City is that it has museums that explains culture and important events that have occurred on the eastern

This past season, 2016, at The Atlantic Eyrie Lodge it was an exceptional year! Profitability this past season was above all the last eight years, bringing in profits of over 1.25 million dollars. With this exceptional staff returning for the 2017 season, we feel profits of 1.5 million for the 2017 season is within reach. We had more “Full House” nights in October of 2016, than we did in the whole season of 2015. Our goal for the 2017 season will be to average one “Full House” every week we are open for the season, for a total of 26 nights of having a “Full House”. To help achieve this goal we will be targeting the middle-class families and people who travel with their pets.

Edward Rutherford once said, “You can do what you like, sir, but I’ll tell you this. New York is the true capital of America. Every New Yorker knows it, and by God, we always shall.” It seems New York has always been a landmark of the United States, but what made it this way? New York is known for its bright lights, crowded streets, and success. Several different aspects within New York’s history have played a role in the iconic stature of New York.

There it was, the city of money loss and tourism, Atlantic City. “Hughhhh” (as Nick stretches his arms). “What a flight that was”. The Leger family then steps out of the airplane, at first struggling to get a grip of the ground and then finally getting a holding. “So what are we doing first”? says Nick. “Well we first have to pick up our bag then we can set off to our hotel to check in” says Elena the mom. After about 30 minutes of waiting for the baggage claim to start up, Nick got the family’s suit case, as he thought to himself “god, I wish we had a suitcase that actually worked”. They then got a cab and were of, into the heart of a new vacation and a great adventure.

The humidity of a midsummer evening had set in and Lyra was waiting for her parents to leave for Atlantic City for the night. Once her parents had left and gotten a good way down the road she finished showering and made the decision that she needed to go visit Ryan for what could be the last time. Lyra’s parents were strict but in the best way possible. They protected her from things that could hurt her like most parents of young girls would. Ryan was the boy every girl’s father swore against; he was cold and suspicious. For whatever reason this sparked Lyra’s interest, he was a bad car accident and she could not look away. The cigarette smoke on his breath comforted her, and yet put her on edge.

The Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, and Bristol, all have at least one thing in common: they are great places to visit. While Bristol may not be as popular as the other places mentioned, it definitely has played an important role and been an interesting place to visit. Reaching all the way back into Bristol’s historical roots and origins, ever since its beginnings, it has been a popular destination for many. Through history, the it has been known as a stopping post in times of war, the target for uprising country music stars, home to the Bristol Motor Speedway, and hopefully, in the future, credited with many more advances and improvements. However, regardless of any changes that may occur over time, Bristol will always remain a great place for anyone to visit.

For instance, a City like Miami Beach which offers mainly recreational opportunities which depend on climate for their use appeals primarily to discretionary market, and that only at those times of the year when unfavorable weather elsewhere makes Florida desirable. Most visitors to Miami Beach come from the eastern half of the country; similar resorts on the West Coast compete successfully for the western market. Much of a visitor's decision is based on his expectations of the city and whether or not it is likely to fulfill them. But how are those expectations formed? Urban Attractions: Most tourists' attractions are inherent to the city; they exist because of demands and support from local people, combined with the willingness of governmental and other organizations to subsidize certain amenities when necessary. The diversity and quantity of attractions relate closely to the makeup and size of resident population, the city's historic past, and its national and international standing. Most attractions are not geared specifically to the visitor, with some obvious exceptions. For example, the St. Louis Arch was built expressly as a unique tourist attraction, and at the same time it serves as a symbol of the city's historic past and present role as a gateway to the West. Atlanta is one of the most successful
