Green Hotel

For my Anchor Act, I talked with the President of the Conventions and Visitors Bureau at the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce David Holder. The most interesting thing he said was that the new green hotel would also help attract international visitors that would be traveling between Niagra Falls and New York City. Holder also said the hotel was similar to the Opryland hotel in Nashville, Tennessee and it should have the same economic impact on Syracuse as the Opryland has on Nashville. In addition to that, Holder said that the hotel would also help bring in businesses for conferences and meetings. This would help the create more restaurants and entertainment facilities in the area because the people here on business trips would need something to do and somewhere to eat. Holder could not put an exact number on what the hotel would bring into Syracuse , but he did say that when it is finished it will be among the 8 largest entertainment and shopping facilities in the world.
