Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation Releases Annual Report During National Tourism Week :: gophila.com - The Official Visitor Site for Greater Philadelphia

Very close for tourism... Houston, according to this, attracted more tourists than Philadelphia; I did not expect that...Congratulations Dallas you are rated just ahead of Philadelphia in the overall rankings; but Philadelphia attracted more tourists.

Philly is a great city that I have visit a few times but they are the worst sport fans! Mean-spirited toward their own teams

I saw a simulation, somewhere of the conceptual plans. Do you have any knowledge of this project or where to find it on the internet?
