Memphis Named a Top Tourist Destinations on the Rise

Music, barbecue, and southern hospitality has moved Memphis to the top of "tourist destinations on the rise". Even our infamous crime problem doesn't seem to be curbing the enthusiasm.

The hourly motels on S. Third & Lamar are great values for the budget minded traveler!

If people would take more pride in their city and help one another insteaed of all the violence..Memphis would be soooo much better. Memphis has a lot to offer, but it is NOT a place I'd want to continue to come to if I had already been!! The people ain't that polite, driving these interstates SUCKS and as your driving you see the best and worst places within a mile of one another. I pray for Memphis.

The airport is the biggest thing holding the city back. If our impotent and cowardly city leaders could/would do something to stop the outrageous price gouging and we will see a lot more travel to Memphis. right now, we are putting money into the coffers of Nashville and Little Roch because Memphians have to drive to those cities to get decent airfare.

As Christmas and New Year hits the doors, this number will show a decent rising trends. With Memphis won the "Traveler's Choice 2012" Award it will be easy for them to attract more tourists. http://www.1to1tutor.org/
