Miami Beach suffers tourism decline

By STEWART, RUSSELL
MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (REUTER) — pene it on

Arthur Bant, a hotel manager for 27 years, recalled
that “three or four years ago I'd have 93-per-cent
for the (winter) season ... then I'd leave the

Mickey Mouse, or riots and_refug
lifestyles and lack of foresight,

Miami Beach no longer is the carefree playground °

Promoted by such entertainers as Jackie Gleason,’ Bob
Hope, Red Skelton and Perry Como in the bathing-beauty
TV spectaculars of the ‘50s and '60s,

The famous beach itself is still there — indeed, it's '

longer and broader than it was in those days. So are the
palm trees swaying in the balmy tropical breezes.

What's missing is tourists... -

Miami Beach's last winter season was the worst ina
three-year decline, with room occupancy rates down 25
per cent from the winter of 1980.

SUMMER DISMAL ~
This summer only about 85, per cent of the Beach's

27,600 hotel and motel rooms were taken. Hoteliers gen-'’

erally estimate they need a 65-per-cent year-round occu-

At’ least ‘six Beach hotels and three “major res-
taurants have closet. Some will reopen for the winter,
‘others have’ no plans.

‘The malaise is not confined to the Beach. Across
Biscayne Bay, downtown Miami is also hurting, as are

*resort towns, such as Fort Lauderdale to the north.

“We let the world pass us by, thinking things would
always be the same,” said Jack Musiel, executive director
of the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Bureau.

“We didn't realize that other places were cropping’
up’ and ‘spending millions: of dollars on tourism
promotion.”

The main other place that “cropped up” was Disney
World, near Orlando in north-central Florida. Its first
component, Magic Kingdom, home of Mickey Mouse and

However, those with sturdy soles and a little energy
will find historical attractions as old as the Boston Tea Party
and bars and restaurants as up-to-date as the most tattered,

SUBWAY GOOD

The subway, a little grimy compared with those in
Montreal and Toronto, is safe and efficient, offering routes
to most areas of the city as 60 cents a ride.

The best sight-seeing excursion is a three-kilometre
walking tour along the Freedom Trail, which include stops at
such shrines of the American Revolution as the Bunker Hill
monument, Fanueil Hall (called the cradle of liberty), and
Quincy Market, now a mix of fashionable lunch spots and
boutiques.

It also takes in, among other sites, the state legislature,

Beacon Hill, Boston Common, the‘Old South meeting house

Its new attraction, EPCOT — for Experimental Pro-

is to help the enter complex attract
28-million visitors this year.

Very few of them seem intlined to drive another 820
kilometres south to Greater Miami andthe Beach.

In the good old days the average vacationer in south
Florida was a blue- or white-collar worker from the
Northeastern United States, who drove down with his
wife and children and stayed for a week or two.

Their contemporary equivalent is exactly the kind of
family attracted now by the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and
a host of Disney-inspired spinoffs such as Sea World, and
Circus World, which stretch from Tampa on the Gulf
Coast to the Kennedy Space Centre on the Atlantic.

Also during the last 10 years or so, cheaper air fares
have induced millions of Americans to try vacation spots
far afield and previously beyond their means — the

Tourism tolerated by monks

By STEVEN HINDY

ST. CATHARINES MON-
ASTERY, EGYPT (AP) —
In these days of peace be-
tween Egypt and Israel, tour-
ism is the only threat to the
solitude of the monks at this
idyllic mission tucked in the
rugged granite mountains
near Mount Sinai.

The 15 Greek Orthodox
monks living in the walled,

fortress-like monastery are‘

spiritual brothers of a 1,400-
year-old line that has sur-
vived the Arab-Israeli wars,
400 years of Turkish rule, the
Crusader-Moslem conflict ‘of
1099-1270 and the Arab con-
quest of Egypt in 641 — by
virtue of a pledge of protec-
tion providently obtained
from the Moslem prophet
Mohammed 16 years earlier.

A copy of the document is
on display at the monastery.

St. Catherine’s and Mount
Sinai,'the peak where the
Bible says God gave Moses
the Ten Commandments, are
the exceptions to the slump
in tourism that has afflicted
the Sinai since it was re-
turned to Egypt by Israel
last April.

The monks stoically toler-
ate the instrusion. Tourism
and the church are their main
sources of income, but they
do not like it.

“Monastery is for monks,
and monks live for study, for
contemplation, for worship —
but what can we do,” said

beaded, black-robed Rev.
Porphyrios, an 18-year vet-
eran, sitting in his cramped
office with his hands resting
on his girth.

“This is something we
must live with,” he said. The
monks allow tourists into the
monastery from 9:80 a.m. to
1:80 p.m. daily, except Sun-
days. (
