GEORGIA
ATLANTA (PRN) - 1968
was the best single year in the
history of the travel industry
in Georgia, according to
announcement by Governor
Lester Maddox.
V acation/ recreation
travelers spent $646.8 million
last year in Georgia or $76.1
million more than the 1967
figure. This was an increase of
13.3 per cent for Georgia
compared with the national
average increase of 9 per cent.
Tourist spending in Georgia
has more than doubled since
the first research was compiled
in 1961.
Governor Maddox also
announced that spending by
travelers on business and
pleasure trips reached an
all-time high of $911.8
million. All these increases
were made in spite of poor
weather condition last year.
Georgia was cooler than
normal and February was the
fourth coldest month in 91
years of record.
The State of Georgia
received $49.5 million in State
taxes from travelers in 1968
which was 6.7 per cent -of
Georgia’s total revenue
collections for the year.
A total of 400 new travel
serving firms were added in
Georgia last year creating
5,500 new jobs. Increased
incomes by these firms were
passed on to the employees
who received 12.3 per cent
higher wages than those paid
in 1967. i
Govenor Maddox pointed
out that visitors to Georgia
will soon be offered new and
expanded facilities as a result
of construction projects
started in 1968. More than
400 businesses began additions
or new construction projects
last year with a total cost of
$52.7 million. This is an
increase of more than 50 per
cent in capital investment
compared with the 1967
investment.
The Georgia travel industry
is made up of 21,200 lodging,
eating, recreation, and
automobile service businesses.
Although not included as an
official member of the Georgia
travel industry family, a
number of other businesses
received a significant income
from sales to travelers. They
included gift and antique
shops, variety and drug stores,
sporting goods stores and
motion picture theatres.
Grocery stores in the vicinities
of camp grounds also had
significant sales to tourists.
The State of Florida
continues to lead the list of
states whose residents vacation
in Georgia, followed by the
other Southeastern states, the
Great Lakes and the Mideast
regions. More than 13-million
vacation/recreation trips were
taken in Georgia by private
automobile in 1968, involving
more than 39-million travelers.
Out of state visitors
accounted for 47.5 per cent of
these trips while Georgians
choosing to “See Georgia
First” accounted for the
remainder.
Travel serving firms
continue to realize the wants
and needs of the traveling
public and are furnishing the
necessary services to insure a
return visit by the vacationer.
Ihe increased spending by
travelers indicated that the
tourist advertising campaigns
are paying handsome
dividends for Georgia.
While the story of Georgia’s
travel industry grows brighter
each year, the travel serving
firms and local communities
continue to make big plans for
the future. Improvements and
new and imaginative
developments are being
planned and built. As these
projects are completed, even
more are coming off the
drawing boards as Georgians
look for an even greater share
of the travel business.
Travel research is compiled
for the Tourist Division of the
Department of Industry and
Trade by the Division of
Research of the College of
Business Administration of the
University of Georgia.

designed to keep up with fash
ion’s fast-dressing pace.
The new bra-slip concept is
actually the sum of two pretty
parts: a lace-trimmed bra and
a convenient hook-on slip. You
can put the two parts togethei
beneath a dress or don just the
bra when the slip isn’t an es
sential.
Next-to-nothings you wear
under today’s see-through and
near-nude fashions are another
way to under-score for fall.
Gossard has two this season —
a body skin that just skims the
shape and a body brief with a
bit of stretch for more sup
port. Both are in an exclusive
body beige shade for com
plete camouflage.
If you’ve gone the pantie
hose route, you might have
found that you need both a bit
of tummy-tucking and away
to keep the stockings in place.
One single solution to both
these problems is a stretch-lace
put-over called Cling Mate that
has tiny bands of elastic along
the leg to prevent wrinkled
knees. They come in lengths to
meet every fashion need includ
ing a super-long version that
holds up knee-hi’s.

Household routine returns to
normal as the 1969-70 school
year begins. One time-consum

With a mother’s helper such as
a Mobile Maid dishwasher in
the home, all arguments are
averted and there’s more time

A General Electric portable

have to be scraped or rinsed

It is available in avocado,

and harmony in the family, as
