Mr. Blake informed the Board that media reports following Hurricane Floyd resulted in <br /> the misperception that the majority of North Carolina's tourism infrastructure had been <br /> severely damaged. The reality is that less than one-third of the state had been severely <br /> impacted by the storm. He indicated that a major effort to educate the media and <br /> prospective visitors was being spearheaded by the North Carolina Division of Tourism, <br /> Film and Sports Development. The primary focus of the campaign will be a three-month <br /> advertising program in major national publications advising these audiences that most of <br /> the state is "open" and ready to serve visitors. <br /> ADJOURMENT <br /> With all business of the Board concluded, Mr. Pavao asked for a motion to adjourn. Mr. <br /> Carey made the motion for adjournment and Mr. Strunk seconded the motion. With all <br /> members in agreement, the meeting adjourned at 8:45 a.m. <br /> Minutes Drafted by: Minutes Accepted by: <br /> Joseph Blake, Executive Director Lee Pavao, Chairman <br /> Date Date <br /> board/meetings/10 20 1999 Board Meeting Minutes.doc <br /> 4 <br />
