Before our airport's new, more efficient international terminal opens in a few months, the Convention and Visitors Bureau is hustling to attract more visitors and investors from abroad.
I'll be thrilled if this works, and my city becomes ever so slightly less homogeneous, but as I said on 25 November, we shouldn't even be luring visitors if we can't find anything worthwhile to engage them. The idea is for them to come back, or maybe even make Atlanta their new home, not to return to where they live now and spread the word about how we promised more than we could deliver.
(Note the description of the US Poultry and Egg Association as "one of metro Atlanta's biggest convention." Nice proofreading, Mr. Stafford.)
