ritish image of Texas studied
A Texas A&M University re-
iareher is analyzing the image of
exas in Britain as the Texas tourism
pustry prepares to convince the
titish and European market to see
»xas first.
The opening of direct air routes
wn the United Kingdom has made
exas a “gateway state” for the first
me and the flights could easily be-
efit the already $6 million tourism
lustry here, says a Texas A&M
■avel expert.
'flritain is a vital new market for
s,” Dr. John Crompton said. The
■ accessibility of direct air route
om the United Kingdom which
egan only 18 months ago, a plum-
Sting U.S. dollar making foregn
urrency worth more, and an
njffgy crisis here in the States
hich is likely to inhibit traveling in
BU.S. are all combining to cause
■Texas tourism industry to focus
lore attention upon the potential of
^European market.
Bhere is an aura about Texas in
■ minds of Europeans that is
■iger than many other states,”
rompton said. “It is a vivid im-
Hso, he said, for the first time
exas can afford to compete on
rice
fpt’s only moderately more ex-
ensive for someone in London to
acation in Texas than it would be
ji.them to vacation for instance in
ce or Italy,” the Texas A&M
archer said.
The new Texas routes opened in
eptember 1977 with British
Caledonian Airline beginning
ondon-to-Houston service. Then
[April 1978 Braniff initiated direct
allas/Forth Worth-to-London-
New York service.
Each of these new air routes has
proved very profitable for the air
lines, says Crompton, and it seem
likely that other carriers will seek
the Texas-to-United Kingdom route
in the future.
In anticipation of this new
tourism prospect, Texas travel offi
cials are gearing up for the British
market first. A media effort in Bri
tain to promote tourism in Texas is
set to begin in 1980. To prepare
Crompton is laying the research
groundwork for the campaign by
identifying which image attributes
of Texas should be stressed in the
media campaign to market Texas
most effectively.
This summer the researcher will
spend six weeks interviewing grups
of people in four parts of the United
Kingdom to establish what image of
Texas could be most profitable.

The research project is sponsored
by the Texas Agricultural Experi
ment Station and the United States
Travel Service.
“We have to realize that because
of the energy crisis there is going to
be less long distance car travel to
Texas,” Crompton said. “That
means the air travel people become
that much more important.
“They will spend more money
than someone who is just driving
through the state,” he said. “The air
travel people will help pick up the
slack in the tourism industry.”
