The conscious and intelli- gent effort to attract tour- ists must be based on pro-} viding what the travelers desire. As most of them are on vacation, the chief ingre- dient is amusement, relaxa-| tion and pleasant places to stay. If Key West wants tourists to come to ‘stay, there must be a deliberate effort to provide the things that tourists desire.
