Miami Mayor Urges Help for Tourism Industry.
Byline: Shannon Tan
Sep. 25--Go out. Stay in a hotel, eat out, visit local attractions. Be a tourist.
Those were the desperate pleas of Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas at a press conference Monday. Penelas proclaimed Sept. 28-30 as "Freedom Weekend," telling locals to do their part in helping the tourism industry -- which has been hard hit since the Sept. 11 attacks.
"As a nation mourns, our lives are on hold, airlines are less than half full, restaurants are bare, hotels are suffering, attractions are hurting," he said.
Practically all hotels in Miami-Dade -- where occupancy rates have plummeted to around 30 percent -- have had to implement cutbacks.
