Maybe i'm missing something but how in the world did we win this award, what big tourist attractions are in Alabama that are bigger than what they have in Georgia, Florida or even Tennessee? Maybe this is my opinion but I always thought our tourist industry in Alabama needed vast improvement. But then again the award is for the best campaign not what attractions we have but IMO even that could use a big improvement.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama tourism officials are becoming old hands at accepting the Southeast Tourism Society's award for the year's best campaign to attract visitors.
Governor Bob Riley Friday announced that the society named Alabama's tourism department the best in the South for the third time in four years.
It was nominated for its "Year of Alabama Arts" campaign.
