Whereas, South Carolina offers a wide variety of outstanding scenic, historic, recreational, and vacation attractions, and an abundance of things to see, do, and enjoy during all seasons of the year and in all areas of the State from the mountains, lakes, parks, and resort islands to the beaches of our coast; and

Whereas, tourism and travel is the second largest industry in our State, bringing in over three billion dollars and providing direct employment for over eighty-five thousand residents, with direct and indirect jobs from the industry totaling one hundred forty-three thousand dollars; and

Whereas, the State and all South Carolinians benefit from the economic impact of visitors, including the direct infusion of one hundred seventy-four million dollars in state and local tax revenues, expansion of local tax bases, and creation of additional tax revenues as tourism-travel dollars circulate through the State; and

Whereas, the latest available statistics from the South Carolina Tax Commission, the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, the South Carolina Employment Security Commission, the South Carolina Treasurer's Office, and other state sources reveal that tourism-generated income, jobs, and tax revenues in South Carolina have continued to increase and represent a bright spot in South Carolina's economy; and

Whereas, tourism and travel is an industry that blends with other economic and industrial progress and is compatible with the protection of our vital natural resources and enhancement of the quality of life for all residents of the State. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the month of May, 1987, be designated as South Carolina Tourism Month with special observances the week of May 17-23, 1987, which has been designated by Congress as National Tourism Week.

Be it further resolved that the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism be urged to continue its program to increase tourism in South Carolina through its tourism advertising program and other promotions, conduct research on the tourism industry, and report the progress of travel and tourism business periodically to the General Assembly.

Be it further resolved that all South Carolinians be encouraged to utilize the vacation opportunities in our fine State and express their appreciation to our visitors by continuing to provide them with the friendly and gracious hospitality that has done so much over the years to establish South Carolina as a major tourism and travel destination known for its "smiling faces and beautiful places".

Whereas, the Saluda County Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission sponsored a four-day five hundred mile bike ride last week through the Blue Ridge Parkway to promote wellness and alternatives to alcohol and drug abuse; and

Whereas, individuals and corporations were generous with donations to fund the project; and

Whereas, Mr. Jim Allen and Mr. Dewey Yeargin should be recognized for making the ride to demonstrate that with proper planning and training anyone can succeed at achieving their goals; and

Whereas, Mr. Allen and Mr. Yeargin serve as role models to youth and provide motivation for groups and individuals to "reach for the stars" in an effort to maintain high self-esteem and pride which are an important part of "Just Say No"; and

Whereas, the ride symbolizes the necessary cooperation, support, and actions needed to perform responsibly and to develop healthy support systems which are needed to maintain a drug-free lifestyle. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

Whereas, the purpose of this event is to provide the citizens of this State with an awareness of the important health and safety services provided by codes-enforcement officials and inspectors; and

Whereas, it is altogether fitting and proper for the General Assembly to enhance public awareness and understanding of building safety, to recognize and commend publicly all city, county, and state codes-enforcement personnel, and to support the concept of National Building Safety Week.
