SOME PRIMARY |
NECESSITIES OF
| TOURIST CENTER
Hooper Tells What a Town
First Needs to Attract ,
Tourist Travel to It.
(Continued from Page One.) j
Many hotels in Alaska act as a
pulblic convenience (or travelers,
bringing baggage to the hotel free,
only to take it free to the next
boat, without a cen of revenue. I
know that many townspeople leave
phone calls at hotels, to be awak
ened when a boat arrives, lor is
about to leave, during the night. A
lot of people in these towns also use
the hotel as a comfort station, as
well as a place where free services
are rendered all day and night.
Our Garden of Eden.
The greatest advertising done
most tourist centers is done by the
hotels, and others reap the benefit
or profit. Much of the Hteraure
that we tourists receive dwell upon
the sights, the points of interest,
the flowers, the glaciers nearby, the
totems, the curios, and the best place
on earth for a stop-over. But, very
few speak of the hotels. Give any
place all the aspects of a Garden of
Eden, call it the i>and of Tourists
Delight, and if there is no hotel
worthy of the name, then all the
advertising is ia vain.

i D1Y GOODS noxious !
Dwfls» IT DOUGLAS
Places that cater to tourist travel
are not judged by cheap water
power, cheap labor, but by the kind
of a placo it Is found to be by the
tourist. The hotel becomes the place
of Judgment. The traveler mentally
jjudges the whole town by the ap
! pearance of the hotel. A dirty,
I dingy, unpainted hotel is an eye
jsore, even if the beds are fairly
clean.
1 have seen the days when Nl-'
;: Kara Falls would charge $5 a day
for a wash-bowl, dirty towel, and a I
hath somewhere tn the basement,
but these conditions did not exist
for long.
Hotels Good Boosters.
All honor to the hotelkeepers In
Alaska, who have fought and stiug
! gled, had ups and downs, good and
bad times, trying to hold the town
logether by keeping what was that
town’s greatest requisite, catching
to the fisheries, the mines, apd the
canneries. Handicapped as the Al
askan towns were, by short sea
sons, limited steamship travel and
transportation problems, and by dis
tance in getting in supplies, they
have stood in the breach, put their
alj into making the town grovv.j
with mighty little credit from,
others.
Hocognizing that the hotel Is the
; greatest asset that a town could
have, what do we find? Many
[ points, even close to New York and j
i I<os Angeles, have by civic ordinance'
|or vote^ given free sites, remission|
of taxes, or exemption of taxes, tol
hotels that were a necessity, if the!
| place had to grow and cater to the
tourist trade. That is what has built I
many of the leading and best tour-!
j 1st resorts in the world. It has
brought from obscurity many a good|
tourist rtep-over point, and in do-|
ing so, lias made that town a pros-j
porous and delightful place to goi
to. Where there is a handicap ofi
seasonal travel, it is up to the citi
zens to put it right.
Public-Spirited Action.
Quite a number of tnwnr havei
spent money in getting summer re
I oorts darted, by the action of a few
' i
bright lights and public-spirited
citizens, (such as you have here in
Dr. DeVIghne and others), who have
constructed permanent camps in
beautiful surroundings to bring In
the very highest type of tourist
with means, many of whom outfit
here, leaving thousands of dollars
locally. The few dollars spent in
advertising is nothing compared to
tlio thoustnde that are put in (onj
faith principally) and in the hopes
that Fortune may shine uipon their
awn home-town, and a hope that
tlioy will not be losers. All honor,
I say to the 'builders of these lirst
adjuncts 'to bring the tourists here.
They deserve our respectful consid
eration, and the. backing of every
body in tlieir effort to place the
whole community on the map.
Another great adjunct to bring I
the better class of tourists here, is
a golf course. It will bring more
people of means than any othe.
amusement that has over been de
vised. Resides, our points of in
terest mu ft have some amusement
or recreation center.
