The hotel depends greatly on
help from local citizens in book
ing convention groups, commented
Michael Taft, hotel manager. Re
cently a group that was undecided
between the Morehead Biltmore
Hotel and Eastern Airlines-Ber
muda convention decided to go to
the mpuntains instead, although
they ,had not ejea causidiTecJ il
as a possibility. One of their mem
bers from Asheville prevailed on
them to make this choice.
No resort committee or hotel
can hope to do a good job with
conventions except with excellent
transportation facilities. The More
head Biltmore tries to get North
Carolina groups, as regional-na
tional meetings will not come to
a section without good air or rail
passenger service.
This is one of the reasons that
the hotel feels that the family
vacationist is still the bread and
butter of Eastern North Carolina's
resort business, Mr. Taft re
marked.
