Tourism Emphasis Aims for Texas Tourist Council
The newly formed Texas Tourist Council establishes permanent offices in Austin and names Bill Stinson of San Antonio as executive vice president and general manager. President James M. Gaines announces plans for a statewide membership drive as Gov-elect Connally pledges support to boost Texas tourism, which has declined since 1957 despite tourism being a major national industry. The council formed after a 1961 Austin meeting with over 600 attendees to counter the drop in tourist flow.
