Virginia Sees Shenandoah National Park Boost Tourism
Richmond Jan 4 The Shenandoah National Park in Virginia would raise annual tourist spending by about 110 million dollars, says a Virginia State Chamber of Commerce survey. The study links park proximity to population centers with high visitation, and expects a million East Coast visitors in peak season. The chamber plans a broader campaign to lure two week Virginia vacations citing historic shrines and natural wonders, with the park near Washington seen as a major draw for distant travelers.
