PAGE EIGHT UNITE FOR SUCCESS | IN TOUR INDUSTRY, ' — SAYS ARMITAGE § Alaska must unite in its visitor- attracting efforts if it is to have success such as Hawaii has had in the tourist industry. This was brought out by George T. Armitage, for 22 years associated | with the Hawaii Tourist Bureau and now in Alaska to assist the Alaska Development Board in its long- ommuqisl Pidure | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA o : s%m e Lo IRUSS CARGO SHIPS | " PINKS NoT SHowing| IN MYSTERY MOVE AT VLADIVOSTOK Total Alaska salmon pack for | | 1950 up to August 5 is leading last ! | year's total for the same period by nearly 300,000 cases, according to| h figures released by the Fish and| NEW YORK, Aug. 10—®—Mys- Wildlife Service. terious large-scale movements of | Meanwhile, Richard F.

He spoke at the regular meet- | ing of the Chamber of Commerce to- day. Armitage pointed out that he wasn't giving advice, but only telling of the experiences of the Hawaiian | bureat so that those listening could | draw on Hawali's experience. He said that from small beginn- ings at the turn of the century the tourist industry has grown until thls year it is estimated 50,000 visitors will spend between at least $40 mti- lion in the island territory. He gave credit for much of the increase to the efforts of the Hawai Visitors Bureau, formerly the Ha- wali Tourist Bureau, which coordi- nated the efforts of all the islands in the work of attracting outsiders. | This picture from the New China News Service, official Communist organization operating in Peiping and other cities, was obtained from the Daily Worker in London, which published it with this caption: S o el e ¥ g - { fishing area | catches for tagging purposes show v few pinks for this time of year.

He said the group works closely | with the chambers of commerce, | byt is independent of them. | Hawall's efforts in advertising %ts attractions have all been in the direction of “telling the truth, tell- | ing it well, and telling it repeat-| edly,” he declared. Friends Are Made Good advertising, in the case of Hawaii, has had a double effect, he said: it has attracted visitors and has educated the people of the United States in regard to the island territory ‘“made « mighty handy friends.” Facilities for tourists increase as the number of tourists increase, he explained. He said that the first effort was made to attract and bring in tourists. This created a need, and businessmen, realizing that to fill this need would mean profits for them, increased the| tourist facilities. { In answer to a question from ‘Trevor Davis, Juneau businessman and member of the Chamber, he| said the same would apply to in-| creasing the length of the tourist season.
