Nebraska golf courses highlighted in Nebraska Passport program
Posted: 05/01/12 08:02 Nebraska officials are promoting the state's golf courses, wineries, restaurants and parks in a new campaign designed to change outside perceptions of the state and attract tourists. The attractions are part of the Nebraska Passport program. Nebraska Tourism Director Kathy McKillip says it’s an effort to attract those from out of state but also those in the state who, don’t even know what’s in their own backyard. Tourism is the state's third-largest revenue source, generating more than $4 billion a year. Heineman says the industry accounts for more than 45,600 jobs statewide. |
