Foreign trade executives from 16 countries will be guided next week by the Illinois governor’s team to tour several tourist-related attractions, reports the Lincoln Courier.
In Lincoln, they will meet with local business leaders and learn more about regional tourism, including Looking for Lincoln and the Route 66 Scenic Highway.
Because foreigners have generally shown an intense interest in Route 66, I’ll bet those executives will pay attention more closely to the Mother Road attractions than of Abe Lincoln’s.
