Tourism Viewed by Region

TRENTON - The first major recommendation underscored by the state’s new Tourism Master Plan is to initiate a regional approach to tourism promotion, according to John J. Horn, commissioner of the state Depti of Labor and Industry. And according to the commissioner, the state’s recently released 1980 Vacation Guide, which is divided into six sections by region “successfully accomplishes this." THE SIX REGIONS include Skylands (the northwest part of the state),Gateway (themajor metropolitan area near New York City), the Shore (Monmouth and Ocean Counties), Delaware River, Atlantic City and

the Cape.

“Rather than dealing with the tourism industry on the level of individual municipalities or counties.” notes Steve Richer, acting director of the department's Div. of Travel and Tourism, "the division can handle the problems, changes and goals of tourism development based on areas of common concern and characteristics.” ONE PRACTICAL offshot of the regionalization concept in tourism was illustrated in the Wildwoods last week when the first casino buses began rolling between the

Five Mile Beach area and Atlantic City. The transportation system is a joint venture between the Greater 1 Wildwood motels and Caesars Boardwalk Regency Casino in Atlantic

City.)

Commissioner Horn termed the state Tourism Master Plan, "a detailed

blueprint for tourism development in the state for the next 10 years." It is the Garden State's first comprehensive plan dealing solely with

tourism.

PREPARED BY THE Div. of Travel and Tourism and the Tourism Advisory Council, the master plan

covers projections, recommendations, priorities and developments in the tourism industry with special emphasis on the state as a total travel

destination.

The 665-page study includes 19 chapters detailing specific aspects (Page 3 Please)

For Vacationing Young Men, Selective Service Sign-Up is Here

WASHINGTON, D.C. - For the first time since the mkM970a, registration for Selective Service resumes next week nationwide for young men born in 1960 and 61. In Cape May County as elsewhere, the brief process will take place at the nearest U S. Post Office. Young men with 1960-61 birthdates who are vacationing on the Jersey Cape or county residents who will be away at college in the fall should, nevertheless, register at the nearest local post office. ONCE THE registration card is filled out (there are only a handful of questions — including your Social Security number), it will be forwarded to the Selective Service for processing. A letter wf confirmation, will be mailed to the registrant in the tall, • government

spokesman told the Herald and the Lantern on Monday. The spokesman noted that since Selective Service will be contacting the registrant in the fall for verification — the Current Mailing Address requested on the registration card should be the address where the young man will beinthefaU. IN THE CASE of a college student or a young man working at the shore ' this summer, the Permanent Residence would probably be the parents' address or the place through which the registrant may be reached or where mail would be forwarded if the person is on the road. According to the spokesman, a summer rooming house address and pbooc number shouldn't be

listed as the Current Address unless the registrant plans to be here through ! the fall. 1 THE SELECTIVE Service information cards are available at more than 34,000 post offices across the country — all post offices other than small, socalled “Contract Post Offices." Even these smaller postal units will have information on which post office to go to, the spokesman said. The point is, that vacationing young men whose birthdates are in 1960 or 1961 should register at the nearest Post Office on their respective registration dates — not at their hometown Poet Office.
