THEY SPEND MONEY
The seventh annual North Carolina tourist report,
issued by the State’s Travel Council this week, snows
that travel is now a billion dollar business.
Tourists from other states spent $315 million in
North Car9lina last year, a 10 percent rise in 1964. All
travelers, including both tourists from other states and
North Carolina residents spent $512 milUon in the state;
This large volume of spending by the transient
market stimulates North Carolina business and industry.
Tourist expenditures alone amount to three-tenths of the
sales in the travel serving business, and all travel ex
penditures amounts to nearly half of the sales of firms
catering to the traveling public.
The $315 million was the spending of 29 million
persons who visited or passed through North Carolina
last year. They came in 14 million parties and traveled
more than five billion passenger miles on highways, rail
ways and airways.
Out-of-state tourists account for a fifth of the 25
billion miles of intercity traffic by private and, public
transport. The North Carolina tourist trade is centered
in the billion dollar travel service and transport business.
Lodging places, cafes, recreation services, auto services
and the passenger transport utilities are included in
this group.
Travelers are served by 19,890 North Carolina busi
ness concerns. This is 17 percent of the 118,300 active
firms in the state. Jobs are provided for 90,550 workers.
One-sixth of all workers in private commerce are cater
ing to the traveling public.
The travel-related firms paid out $346 million in
personal income to owners and employees last year.
This was nearly a third of their receipts from the travel
trade. This income from travel firms is a tenth of the
personal income from all private commerce.
Sales of $12,000 in the travel business creates a job
for someone in North Carolina, which in turn creates
peTsonal Vneome ot ^4,400. At this r^te, -pvLTchsssiG 1>V .
tourists create enough business to give jobs to 24,000
persons with income of $105,000,000. This means that
a third of tourist spending flows out as personal income.
Travel service also creates a large market for goods
and services of other North Carolina firms. More than
$500 million is paid to wholesalers and other industries
for goods sold, utilities, advertising, supplies, and serv
ices necessary for operations.
Travel-related activities also contribute to state and
local taxes. The state of North Carolina collected $1'70
million in gasoline and other taxes in 1964. 'Diis was
28 percent of all state revenue.
Local governments collected an additional $14 mil
lion from property and other business taxes. State taxes
on tourist purchases were approximately $21 million.
About seven cents from each tourist dollar is collected
in some form of state revenue.
In North Carolina, tourists spent a fifth or $64 mil
lion of their money for lodging places. Food services re
ceived $88 million from tourists last year, which was 28
percent of the money spent by tourists.
About $32 million was spent for recreation services
and supplies. More than a fourth of tourist expenditures
goes for transportation and auto services. Tourist spend
ing creates almost one-tenth of the sales of the gasoline
and auto service business.
Other business and individuals receive $47 million
in tourist money for miscellaneous goods and services.
State-wide, all tourist purchases comprise almost five
percent of retail trade.
So you see, a lot of the travelers you see breezing
through New Bern pause long enough to spend some of
their money.

In the watches of the night.

To make their petals bright.
So lend your heart to yesterday.

OUR HOME
Our dwelling place is in our God,
In Hin» we live and move;
Much nearer is He than we think—
This no one needs to prove.
In all the races of mankind
He ever does reside;
He's not far off up in the sky.
But quite close by our side.
Prom every harm He keeps us safe.
He shields us on our path
And frees us from the guilt of sin,
'Gainst which He holds His wrath.
O Lord, Thou art my hiding place.
Thy house is in the sky;
O let me never miss the road
That leadath up on high.
Thy Paradise may I attain.
And lift my ayes to Thee
TUI they reflect Thy precious lovo.
Which Thou has shown to me.
