Atlanta Aims to Top Chicago and New York as Convention City
Atlanta touts a 35 million convention center and 3000 hotel rooms to lure 525000 attendees this year and 975000 next year, with 183 million spent. By 1979 a 350000 sq ft world congress center opens, plus three major hotels. Officials predict Atlanta could surpass New York in conventions within five years, aided by proximity of top hotels and a busy airport. A Sunday liquor ban remains a industry hurdle as planners note check-in Mondays.
