Abstract:

Tourism is North Carolina's third largest industry. In 1935 the Carolina Motor Club's first educational tour for American Automobile Association travel officials, newspaper and magazine travel writers, and photographers took them around North and South Carolina providing a crucial landmark for the state's tourism industry. The tour took twelve days and was organized by Coleman W. Roberts, the president and founder of the Club.
