Objectives and Need for Assistance.* The purpose of this project is to encourage Canadians to visit the United States and Corpus Christi, Texas. The scope of this project is an advertising campaign in newspapers and magazines in Canada to stimulate tourism in the United States and Corpus Christi, Texas. It is proposed that media advertising in Canada be directed towards metropolitan areas as Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg. The Corpus Christi area has in excess of two million visitors annually. This number includes both foreign and domestic tourists. The Corpus Christi area exhibits two distinct seasonal tourist patterns - the winter extending through December through March and the summer extending from the Easter holiday period- . n until the Labor. Day holiday. Differentiation in tourist types is strongly aligned with seasonal variations while differentiation in destination areas is less precise. Visitors to Corpus Christi during the summer are predominantly auto traveling tourists who stay in local motels, shop, visit the beaches and use motel facilities for swimming, eating, and evening entertainment. The origins of these summer tourists are predominantly within Texas especially the larger cities such as Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio. During the winter months the majority consists of tourists of older and retired persons who originate from the mid - Western states and Canada. The most important attractions for these winter tourists are the combined aspects of mild winter climate and good local fishing. The proximity of the Mexican border and the mild climate of the Rio Grande Valley also affect winter tourist traffic through the Corpus Christi region. To some extent the availability of Mexico serves as an added attraction for winter tourists to the Corpus Christi area. ATTACHMENT B PROGRAM NARRATIVE STATEMENT 1.

The proximity of the Mexican border and the mild climate of the Rio Grande Valley also affect winter tourist traffic through the Corpus Christi region. To some extent the availability of Mexico serves as an added attraction for winter tourists to the Corpus Christi area. Tourism amounts to approximately $180 million in the local economy annually making it a significant part of the economy. Major'tourist attractions include Padre Island National Seashore, Lake Corpus Christi, the Aransas National Wildlife Refuse, Goose Island State Park, the Corpus Christi Museum, the Art Museum of South Texas, the Welder Wildlife Refuge at Sinton, and the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi. - Table 1 -1 shows employment in the Corpus Christi SMSA in major businesses whose dollar volume of trade varies directly with tourism - service stations, eating and drinking places, entertainment and recreation services, and lodging places. Seventy -two percent of the total is employed in lodging and eating and drinking places. All of this employment is not due to tourism. People employed and earning income in other sectors of the economy support part of these tourist - related enterprises. Overall, these figures understate the importance of tourism to the local economy, as do employment figures for any single industry. Tourist related businesses spend money and create jobs in construction; business and repair services; finance, real estate and insurance; and so on. Those employed in tourist- related businesses just as do those employed in manufacturing, spend their income at car dealers, doctor's offices, department stores, service stations, restaurants, and so forth. Table 1 -2 compares employment in tourist related business in the Corpus Christi SMSA with the twenty largest metropolitan areas in Texas and with the nine metropolitan areas in Florida (the fastest growing tourist area in the United States in the 19601s). These figures show not only the relative importance of tourism employment in Corpus Christi, but also indicate those sectors of the economy where increased tourist trade will result in job opportunities. For example, increased tourism will most likely not create more jobs in service s.- ifs'. sw` t.# $,.Y�1S•F..'.°.6n:�;.....''.L:a tr :' t"':y ife7 ..a.: �£=� -:.__ ^�a.�;w7.:#".'� , • - �? �:�.. �;' .. _ � B,K. y •r - :''j'•eK�: '" � Ex�,Cl."•' - <..,_: 2 - +xi. .��- - N�c. ' i' . ... • •, y+W =.S', .'4 x�ye G• ` •,.ham stations, as is sometimes thought. There seems to be no relationship among metropolitan areas between tourism and this type of employment. Increased tourism would most likely increase business at service stations, but not employment at service stations. Tourism usually creates a relatively large number of jobs in lodging places. . Of the other nineteen largest metropolitan areas in Texas, thirteen have a large percent of their total employment in tourist related activities. All metropolitan areas in Florida have a larger percent of total employment in these activities than does Corpus Christi. One reason for this is that tourism in Corpus Christi might be more 'but -of- doors" oriented than in other areas. Since most jobs related to tourism are in eating and drinking places and lodging places, increased tourism in Corpus Christi would not create as many jobs as the same increase in the number of tourists elsewhere; e.g., compared to other areas, a larger percentage of tourists in Corpus Christi would be likely to camp rather than stay in a motel or hotel. The structure of the tourist in- dustry in Corpus Christi and the surrounding area is not the same as in other areas. Moreover, Corpus Christi is a destination area for tourists, as is Galveston and McAllen. Thus, it does not enjoy the transient trade of El Paso, Dallas, or Beaumont might have. The local Corpus Christi Area Convention and Tourist Bureau spends approximately $460,000 annually in its efforts to generate tourism. The need for Federal assistance in this proposed advertising campaign is quite significant in that local funds to finance the entire project are currently unavailable. 2. Results or Benefits Expected. It is anticipated that approximately 15,000 Canadians will be attracted to the Corpus Christi areas as a result of the proposed media advertisement program - focused at the larger Canadian metropolitan areas during the fall and winter of 1978 -79. It is anticipated that the duration of their visit will be from one to three weeks in which time approximately $35 per person will be spent per day. To further stimulate Canadian tourism to Corpus Christi, on October 12 -15, 1978, the Canadian Davis Cup tennis team will be playing the top Texans in a tournament at Padre Isles- Corpus Christi. The Davis Cup teams from Mexico and Venezuela will also participate. The Padre Isles Country Club will sponsor the tournament with the assistance of the Corpus Christi Tennis Association. Padre Isles, which has a large number of Canadian property owners, and local businesses will vidiotape the tournament finals and send it to the Canadian television network for showing in Canada if the Canadian team is in the finals. It is anticipated that a number of Canadian publications will also send writers and photographers to cover the event. 3. Approach. a. It is proposed that media advertising be conducted in the following publications: Reader's Digest (Canada), the Toronto Star and the Winnipeg Free Press. b. Projections for media advertising are as follows: Reader's Digest - December, 1978 Toronto;Star - 4 insertions between October, 1978, and January, 1979. Winnipeg Free Press - 4 insertions between October, 1978, and January, 1979. c. Data to be collected and maintained on program accomplishments include: 1. Number of Canadian tourists on supervised tours. 2. Number of inquiries registered as a result of the media advertising program. 3. Number of Canadian travel writers, tour operators and wholesalers who will visit the Corpus Christi area in 1978 -79 in conjunction with familiarization tours as a result of the proposed media campaign. d. The City of Corpus Christi will contract with the Corpus Christi Area Convention and Tourist Bureau to carry out the proposed media advertisement. Mr. Bob Conwell, Project Director, is the Executive Director of the Corpus Christi Area Convention and Tourist Bureau. He has served in this capacity since July, 1955. He is Chairman of the Texas Tourist Development Agency Advisory Board which advertises the tourist aspects of the State of Texas. He is also a member of the State's Advertising Committee. He is immediate past Chairman of the Discover Texas Associa- tion, the private sector branch of Texas Tourism. e. Geographic Location. The City of Corpus Christi is located on the west shore of Corpus Christi Bay in the southern portion of the State of Texas, in Nueces County, being geographically situated approximately twenty -four miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico Corpus Christi's latitude of 27 degrees, 45 minutes north and longitude 97 degrees, 25 minutes west. Its relative position on the Texas Gulf Coast may be designated as approxi- mately 125 miles north of the Rio Grande River and 250 miles in a southwesterly direction from the point where the estuary of the Sabine River empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Corpus Christi's Metropolitan Area comprises Nueces, Aransas and San Patricio Counties. - :V:ifi 4- M :�`� �. .4�iF.
