City of Lewisville Texas Annual Budget for Fiscal Year October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008 As Adopted by the City Council History of Lewisville Lewisville’s history dates to the early 1840’s. The Texas Immigration and Land Company, recognizing the potential of the area’s rich, black soil, purchased the area and offered 640 acres to families and 360 to bachelor settlers. The head of the company was W.S. Peters, and the first town in the area took his name: Peters Colony. The actual site of the City of Lewisville was named Holford Prairie’s Settlement after John and James Holford, who migrated to the area in 1844 from Platt County, Missouri. Increased settling led to land competition in the 1850’s. Henry Hedgcox, title administrator for the Land Company, came in increasing conflict with settlers over title filings. In what became known as the “Hedgcox War,” area residents destroyed his cabin and records and chased him out of town. Unfortunately, property ownership then became quite difficult to determine. In 1853, Willis Stewart went to Austin on the resident’s behalf. There, he completed the painstaking process of sorting out claims with the General Land Office. Stewart would eventually develop the first comprehensive homestead law. Two years later, Basdeal W. Lewis purchased the old Holford property and created the township of Lewisville. The township’s early growth was slow. But in 1881, its future was solidified by the construction of the Dallas and Wichita Railroad. By 1900, there were 500 residents. The City of Lewisville was incorporated on January 15, 1925, with a population of 825. The city’s character further developed during this time through the damming of the nearby Elm Fork of the Trinity River, creating a reservoir for Dallas then known as Lake Dallas. A larger dam was constructed by the Corps of Engineers in the mid 1950’s, collecting water from the Hickory, Cottonwood, and Stewarts’ Creeks. This 29,700 acre ft. reservoir was named Lake Lewisville. Lake Lewisville, now the third largest lake in Texas, provides water for all city residents and has over three million visitors annually. Today, Lewisville is a primary recipient of the rapid growth of the North Texas area. Encompassing 42 square miles with Interstate 35 as its corridor, Lewisville enjoys a population of 91,550, an increase of over 230 percent since 1980. Located only 30 minutes from Ft. Worth, Dallas, DFW Airport and the University of North Texas, Lewisville maintains a vital presence in the Metroplex today as it prepares for continued prosperity in the 21st Century.

  • The Use of Smart Technology in Tourism: Evidence from Wearable Devices∗
    Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management, December 2015, Vol. 3, No. 11-12, 224-234 doi: 10.17265/2328-2169/2015.12.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Use of Smart Technology in Tourism: Evidence From Wearable Devices∗ Roland Atembe University of Innsbruck, Republic of Austria The emergence of wearable devices has shifted internet from the conventional cyber space to becoming wearable on the body. This new paradigm shift has precipitated a lot of speculations about its impact on the tourism industry. Access to wearable web is predicted to drastically streamline the way tourists connect with stakeholders and the environment around them. Although it is relatively new, wearable technological devices are predicted to have a significant effect on people’s interaction. However, research describing the application of wearable devices in tourism is relatively lacking in academic literature. This paper examines the usage of wearable devices in tourism. The essay aims at contributing to the literature of wearable device and tourism. It also aims at providing an insight of the influence of wearable devices on tourists’ behavior. The paper provides an overview of wearable device functionalities and presents an insight of used cases in the tourism context. Keywords: wearable device, smart technology, tourism Introduction Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have substantially influenced the tourism industry, and they continue to serve as the main drivers for tourism innovations. We see evidence in literature that ICTs have drastically transformed the way tourism products are developed, presented, and offered (Buhalis, 2003; Buhalis & Law, 2008). The technological influence in the tourism industry does not only impact the suppliers, but also the consumers.

Michigan Tourism Impact Case Study Strategic Plan for the Nebraska Tourism Industry Appendix 1. Addressing Board Rules, Responsibilities and Policies Strategic Plan for the Nebraska Tourism Industry Appendix 1 - Addressing Board Rules, Responsibilities and Policies As of July of 2012, the Nebraska Tourism Division became the Nebraska Tourism Commission, a semi- autonomous organization led by industry, to direct the strategic tourism efforts of the state. A new board for the Commission has been appointed, and efforts are underway to formulate the “rules of the road” for the organization. In this section, we include specific comment on organizational issues that can impact the Nebraska Tourism Commission, followed by a more general set of ideas and comments as to initiatives important to a highly functional and strategic tourism board. With respect to Board structure and makeup for the Commission, we recommend that over time, the board member skill sets be clearly defined to include representatives from traditional local/regional destination marketing organizations (CVB’s), as well as from private businesses operating in the tourism industry. These private businesses provide a real-world perspective on how tourism in Nebraska is trending, and what initiatives could best support entrepreneurs critical to growing the industry. Also, high level executives in non-tourism industries should be included in order to introduce high quality business practices into the organizations.

  • Crash Risk of International Visitors to Victoria May 2014
    Crash Risk of International Visitors to Victoria May 2014 RACV Research Report 14/02 Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV) Ltd Report No. Date ISBN Pages 14/02 May 2014 978-0-9804913-5-7 94 Title Crash Risk of International Visitors to Victoria Authors Acknowledgements John Catchpole Elle Towner Kate Pratt Melinda Spiteri Victoria Pyta Performing Organisation ARRB Group Ltd 500 Burwood Highway Vermont South VICTORIA 3133 Abstract This study investigated the involvement of international visitors in road crashes in Victoria. The project aimed to determine whether a comprehensive communication plan was needed to inform targeted groups of international visitors of particular road safety issues in Victoria. The report examined available literature, analysed trends and crash data, and involved consultation with stakeholders. It was found that approximately 0.7% of all road users killed in Victoria between 2002 and 2011 were international visitors. The number of short-term visitors is forecast to steadily grow by 5–6% per annum so the number of visitors killed on Victoria is also likely to increase. The overall recommendations relate to recognition of overseas licences, communication with international visitors and institutional arrangements. Key Words Crash risk; international drivers; visitors; Victoria; Road safety Disclaimer This report is based upon work supported by ARRB Group Ltd. Any opinions expressed during the interviews were those of individual interviewees and do not represent the official policy of the organisations to which they belong.
