"Convention Cities" In U.S.A.
More than a score of America's major cities are known as "convention cities." Each year they are hosts to thousands of out-of-town visitors who attend the annual meetings of national and international organisations. The magazine Business Week reports that in 1948 more than 9,000,000 delegates and their families attended some 17,000 conventions in the United States and Canada.
Convention .delegates come from many parts of the world, the magazine notes. At the 1949 convention of Lions International, for example, New York City was host to 31,000 delegates from 26 countries.
