Gas woes may boost tourism in state
High gas prices could have a silver lining for West Virginia's tourism industry, state Tourism Commissioner Betty Carver said Wednesday.
State tourism officials are optimistic that high gas prices will make people vacation closer to home this summer - and that West Virginia attractions and destinations will benefit.
Carver said the commission would promote the vacation-close-to-home theme in major metropolitan areas near the state, including Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Charlotte, Richmond - and particularly the metro area around Washington, D.C.
