ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR ToURIsM

WITH THE tourist season well under way, it seems
that we are again missing an excellent opportunity to make
the most Of group and packaged tours. These are the tours
which bring groups of people for a single price, including
everything
THE O or packaged tours are principally Of two
kinds, those which get together a group of individuals seek
those which provide for organized group tours as classes,
faternaties, lodges, clubs, and the like.
THERE ARE a number Of advantages to such tours.
First, they are economical, often costing considerably less.
than other types. And this is possible because the businesses
concerned can plan and carry out their programs in advance.
at great savings. A plane heading out on one Of these tours.
IS assured, for example, that it will not have to look around
for passengers for the return flight.
ASECONDs advantage, from the standpoint Of the com
ipany, is that a fair profit can be made even though the unit.
price is much less than otherwise. But the advantages from
the point of view of the tourist are also numerous and con-
siderable.
SINCE THESE Islands are but six hours flying time.
from New York (which is less than from New York to Cali
fornia) many tours could, and should be arranged, and these
could easily become an important part Of the tourist trade.
LAST SUMMER the National Dental Association held
its annual convention in New York. The plan for the 1857
convention was a sea trip to the South Sea Islands, with the
ship being used as the convention site. This year, one Of the
well known fraternities meeting in Atlanta is planning to. run
a tour to the West Indies in connection with that convention.
IN EACH OF the cases mentioned above it would have
been Just as easyfor these groups to have presented to them
concrete. plans for their conventions in these Islands. Plane
and hotel rates, living conditions, and a well planned recrea-
tional program Fitted to the wishes Of the visiting group
