ORIGINAL: tazzygirl In 2003 alone, according to state government data (see[1]), there were over 6.4 million visitors to the Hawaiian Islands with expenditures of over $10 billion 2006 and 2007 saw a big increase in tourism, with over 7.6 million visitors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Hawaii But, no one visits Hawaii. Hey Build it in Hawaii. we need Jobs out here. I am all for it. However facts are fact and PA is right this time. IT would be way more accessible in Chicago. Tazzy you are correct. 6.4 million visitors to Hawaii a year. However half of them are Asian and have limited to zero English skills. There is also 1.3 million of us here. as opposed to the 13 million people in the State of Illinois. and Chicago hosted 45.6 million domestic and overseas visitors in 2008, including 32.4 million domestic leisure travelers, 11.7 million domestic business travelers and 1.3 million overseas visitors. These visitors contributed more than $11.8 billion to Chicago's economy. Mnot, as usual has no idea what he is talking about. No conception of who goes to Chicago or why. Really just a troll throwing insults Interesting points. It is not that I would not like to go to HI. Funds are limited. Even once there- I understand the prices are high. I have never been to a presidential library. The closest would be a university library govt repository. I wonder how many here - have BEEN to a prez library?
