It proves I know how Europeans think.......... why would Europeans want want to visit Fort Worth Texas?

Honestly, the only city in the south Europeans care about is Miami.

If I really waned to be biased; I would've added Houston and Dallas.

I just find it rather bland to waste the majority of your vacation in the NE if your from overseas. San Antonio has lots of history and attractions and Fort Worth is a true city that represents the stereotypical views of Texas.

But, the majority of Europeans do not want to see anything in Texas.

Where is the proof behind that??? the facts?? the statistics??? just because YOU don't want to see Texas; doesn't mean the majority of Europeans think the same way.

Anyways, it doesn't matter. We still attract lots of asians, hispanics and blacks.

Sorry, but NOBODY speaks for an entire Continent. Please.

And Miami doesn't even come close to the numbers of Europeans that visit Orlando.

I'm half Asian and have spent alot of time in Korea and Japan. Texas is a large state with lots of large cities and interesting culture but we have to face the facts that unless they have family there and are visiting family members most (not all) will most likely want to visit the media elite cities of the USA like NYC, SF, LA, DC.....

Well I guess that proves why Texas has the one of the fastest (if not the fastest) growing Asian populations in the country.

The proof is with my own eyes. I am FROM Europe. Therefore, I know where Europeans want to visit. The answer is Washington DC, Philly, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Vegas, LA, SF and Miami. I know where these people visit.

Most Americans don't want to see Fort Worth Texas....... why would a European?

I believe cost of living might have something to do with it =)
