Travelers in Georgia spent
sl.l billion in 1970 according
to an announcement by
Governor Jimmy Carter. The
figure ranks Georgia second
only to Florida in travel
spending in the eleven
Southern states.
In making the
announcement, Governor
Carter pointed out that this
represents a 5.2 per cent
increase in travel spending
during 1970 despite the
general slowdown in economic
conditions.
Vacation and recreation
travelers on Georgia Highways
accounted for $702.3 million
in travel spending in Georgia
during 1970. Out-of-state
tourists spent $376.2 million
of this. The other $326.1
million was spent by
Georgians vacationing in their
own State.
An additional $61.2 million
was spent by tourists traveling
by plane, train or bus, bringing
the total tourist spending to
$763.5 million.
Governor Carter made
special note of the fact that 3
million of these visitors were
personally greeted and
furnished travel information
by Georgia Welcome Center
receptionists, 10 per cent
more than a year ago. Georgia
continues to lead the nation in
the number of visitors at the
Welcome Centers which are
operated by the Georgia
Department of Industry and
Trade.
There were 570 more travel
related businesses in 1970
than in 1969. These additions
bring the total number of
and Mrs. Ollie Os on and Louise
McCoy of Macon.

taxes was paid by travelers on
business and personal trips,
Governor Carter said.
Construction began on 262
new projects in the travel
serving field at a total cost of
$54.8 million.
There are a number of firms
not usually identified as part
of the travel industry that
receive a significant amount of
income from sales to travelers.
Governor Carter said this is
particularly true of businesses
located in resort areas. He
cited examples such as drug
and variety stores, gift and
antique shops, sporting goods
stores and motion picture
theaters.
Travelers in Georgia come
primarily from the other
Southeastern states and from -
the Great Lakes region
(Illinois, Indiana, Michigan,
Ohio and Wisconsin) Canada
and the Mideast region
(Delaware, District of
Columbia, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania and
Maryland). Florida continues
to lead other states in the
number of its residents who
travel or vacation in Georgia.

represents the small letter “g”
for Georgia with a green leaf
extending out of the top of
the “g” to represent Georgia
agriculture.
The Commissioner said his
Department will use the
symbol in every possible way
to promote Georgia farm
products and that processors

Mr. and Mrs. Gene Graham
and son Ronald, and Willie
Adams visited Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Williams and family in
Plant City, Fla., over the week
end.
Mr. and Mrs. Foy Braddy
and son Darrell of Tarrytown,
may eventually use it on the
labels or containers of raw and
processed agricultural
products originating in
Georgia.
“We hope to help reverse
the trend of producing quality
raw products in Georgia only
to have them processed out of
state then shipped back to us
for consumption,” Irvin said.
“We also hope to strengthen
markets for raw and processed
farm products presently
originating in Georgia.”
Irvin pointed out that
although Georgia is the
nation’s largest peanut
producing state, more than 80
percent of the peanuts
produced in Georgia are
processed out of state. He also
called attention to the fact
that Georgia produces about
90 percent of the vegetable
transplants planted
throughout the eastern United
States and Canada for the
production of canned
tomatoes, catsup, sauerkraut,
pickles and other food
products which are eventually
shipped back into Georgia for
consumption and which could
be produced and processed in
Georgia.
