By comparison, the at tendance for the entire run of the ’74 Fair in Spokane totaled 5.2 million. The Fair’s national popularity has been at tributed in large part to. word -of - mouth en thusiasm. Exit surveys of visitors’ reactions to the Fair show that 85 per cent would recommend the Fair to friends and relatives at THE CHOWAN HERALD •• > id home. In spite of the turn out in Knoxville, city officials say, the major problems an ticipated by the public have not materialized. There have been no traffic jams or back - ups, police report; and parking spaces are plentiful, resulting in reduced rates. Visitor services to make booking accommodations easier and to reduce waits on exhibit lines have been stepped up by Fair management. Scattered complaints regarding housing and reservations have been addressed and increased staffing, a new streamlined telephone reservations system and customer service division have eliminated housing problems. Even with attendance running 35 per cent ahead of projections, there is good availability of quality rooms in and around the city, according to Property Leasing and Hotel - Motel Management, the Fair’s newly retained housing agency. “We expected our millionth visitor at the end of May, but we hit the first million mark in the. first two weeks,” S.H. Roberts, Jr., President of the Fair, reports. “Our four millionth visitor arrived late in June, and earlier this month we greeted the five millionth.” “The World’s Fair is obviously surpassing our wildest hopes,” he claims. “We anticipated from 20 - 40,000 visitors daily during May, but between 50 - 99,000 people passed through the turnstiles daily. June projections were 40 - 60,000 daily, and we’ve ended up averaging 75,000. The Tour and Travel Department, expecting 250 - 300 buses a day, saw that figure reach 600 and up to 800 buses on some days.” “We’ve also been proud to see the number of exhibiting nations grow to twenty - seven with the recently announced participation of five eastern Caribbean nations,” Roberts states. The state of St. Christopher and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Montserrat, St. Lucia, and Antigua and Barbuda will exhibit in a 4,700 square foot pavilion opening early in August. “Because of these fan tastic crowds, we’ve added water fountains, benches, canopies and restrooms,” Roberts says. “As the Fair progresses, it is growig and changing to accommodate the turn - out - steps like a second level of the French pavilion, expEmsion of the ( NEW LISTING AT 100 x 120' lot .on Pamlico Trail, 6 rooms, 2 baths, enclosed porch, all fully carpeted...looks like new.
