Virginia Publishers
Urqed 10 Sell Travel
BY the Associated Press

WILLIAMSBURG. Va, Jan. az
Virginia newspaper publishers were
urged today to sell Virginians on
the value of travel advertising"
The Virginia Travel Council wants
20 make the Old Dominion billion
dollar travel State. Robert F. Nell
son, managing director of the coun-
Gil, said in a talk prepared for the
midWinter meeting of the Virginia
Press Association.
There is no reason why 1t can
not be done" he said. The only
thing standing in the way is the
apathy OF the people of Virginia
You can take the lead by aiding
to overcome that great stumbling
block in the way-the lack of real
ization of the power of advertising :"
Specifically, Mr. Nelson suggested
that Virginia newspapers install de-
partments of travel-local, regional,
national and international. A trave.
department, he said, would grow
into one OF the most popular and
lucrative investments that a news
paper could make"
Mr.. Nelson said. We've been
thinking in terms of a travel season
of about 80 days, or often so. We
can't go on thinking in these terms
We must act. and 1 am asking the
press of Virginia to take the lead,
TO its own eventual profit. to build
as nearly year-round travel busi-
ness as We can perfect"
