Little Celia Schlofner, daugh- Ulinois' growing popularity as a vacationland seems to be an indisputable fact. Figures of attendance though Sept. 1 at state parks show an increase of 561,- 475 visitors over the same period last year. In May of this year, Carl G. Hodges, superinten^jrt , Division of Depart^ who is responsible!.] $ travel promotion activities, < predicted Illinois would attract more visitors this year tittup. ever before. ' g'H vO:; • / He said the growing popularity of the state began witH a "tell and sell Illinois" program suggested by Gov. William G. Stratton. Results Of the Stratton-sponsored program, now in its third year, bear out HcdgeS' prediction that well o\rar. ,$p million persons will visit lUiii^fs in 1956. Hodges announced that an increased newspaper advertising program this year, along with a continuation of "Land of Lincoln" theme activities such'as film distribution and literature mailing, had had an enormous effect on the increase of Illinois popularity. In 1955, Illinois ranked fifth . .J Jtt popularity, with 7,370,251 visitors, topped only by New York, Florida, California and Michigan. This year's figures through Sept. 1, show 7,931,726 persons have ivisited here, which could give Illinois a strong fourth position in 1956. There is no way to accurately estimate what effect this tremendous program has had on business in the state. However, replies to a questionnaire sent to all persons who requested vacation material from the state, have shown evidence that may mean a real boom year for hotels, motels, restaurants, railroads, bus lines and retailers catering to the traveling public. Twenty-two per cent of those requesting vacation material actually came to Illinois. Of this number, 90 per cent came by car, 5 per cent by train, 2 per cent by bus and the remainder by miscellaneous means. For the first time, the survey showed, some vacationers came by plane, train or bus and then hired rental cars at,, their destination. Once they arrived, 45 per cent stayed in motels, 24 per cent with friends and 18 per cent in hotels, while the remainder camped out or used trailer parks.
