LA tourist industry holds steady after January quake
Los Angeles area tourism largely resumes normal operations following the January 17 quake. The Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau notes minimal disruption to attractions, hotels, and transport, with repairs ahead of schedule and alternate routes opened on I-10, I-14, 118, and Pacific Coast Highway. Major parks and museums reopen, hotels resume service, and downtown Los Angeles is largely undamaged. George D Kirkland, bureau president, emphasizes resilient hospitality as recovery continues. Kenneth Starr of Frederick College will discuss China in a lecture at Hood College on April 26. Dr Starr, Yale-educated, has led science museum and museum director roles across the U.S. locally contributing to Frederick County’s Historical Society.
