Museum Selected as 'Best Attraction'

From Huntsville Item Reports

Sam Houston State University's Sam Houston Memorial Museum was honored recently as the "best attraction" experienced during a six-day, 10-city Texas Travel Counselor tour of north and southeast Texas.

The Huntsville Convention and Visitors Bureau recently hosted the travel counselors, who are employees working at the Texas state travel information centers throughout the state. They also selected Huntsville as the best city visited.

The counselors also selected Huntsville's adventure guide Robbie George as the "best step-on tour guide," and The Homestead restaurant as serving the best dinner of 14 restaurants visited.

The study tour was coordinated locally through Huntsville Convention and Visitors Bureau director Rhonda Ellisor.

"This is a great honor for our city, being voted as best of by those in the tourism industry that promote cities throughout the state of Texas to millions of visitors," Ellisor said. "We know that Huntsville has a lot to offer, and we enjoy promoting that on a daily basis."

Awards were presented during the Texas Travel Counselors' annual conference in Waco April 11.
