Comment on Cultural Tourism: An economic idea faces challenges and offers rewards by Mike Wrona

Mike Wrona — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 01:03:07 +0000

It has only been 4 days since I wrote this post. At this moment 600 architectural historians, members of “Society of Architectural Historians,” are in the city for a weekend conference. Today the Buffalo News reported:

“Paul Goldberger, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and former longtime critic at the New Yorker said the promise evident in the city’s assets is in many cases becoming a reality or is on the way.

“I think Buffalo needs to market itself more,” Goldberger said. “Let’s not pretend that Buffalo can be Bilbao [home to Frank Gehry’s acclaimed Guggenheim museum], nor can cultural tourism make up for the loss of a huge manufacturing infrastructure that disappeared. But at the same time, you play the cards you have, and it’s one of the strongest cards Buffalo now has. I think Buffalo’s reputation is coming up.”

“Goldberger, who was formerly dean of the Parsons School of Design, stayed overnight Thursday in the Gardener’s Cottage on the grounds of the Martin House Complex, which he said was an “honor.”

“It’s a wonderful little building – not as distinctive as the Martin House itself – but lovely and very comfortable,” Goldberger said.

He said Buffalo – which also hosted the National Preservation Conference in October 2010 to great fanfare – could stand to get its message out more loudly.”

For a former industrial city working hard to reinvent itself, this is music to the ears for those of us who refuse to give up on our community.

Try contacting Catherine Schweitzer, who I believe you can probably get to through Preservation Buffalo Niagara, and ask her why.

Comment on You can get there from here but the fares and flights will drive you crazy. by Mary

Better for you, the traveller, or better for the airlines?

Routing you on several different flights means that certain routes remain viable for the airline to carry, They must fill their aircraft with enough passengers or freight to cover costs of maintaining the route. Each leg of your journey is considered a separate cost center for the airlines. Their margins on each flight can be extremely low. They generally give you a lower price for your inconvenience.

International travel is more complicated, involving more airlines, competition and rules. Some routes just aren’t profitable for airlines, so they cede them to their competition or just discontinue them.

there is hard to find guidance there, even for a mapso be sure you take a trveal guide with you, maybe even two onesalso, the schedules in trveal guides might be different than what you find on the spot or they might be in renovation, closed etc. So either call them(if you know Spanish) or go EARLY.I used Frommer’s Peru Guide because they give interesting comments Was this answer helpful?
