Quote:If so then they need to do something to permanently fix that.

 

As said, Khan has the financial resources to help make that happen in addition to ultimately making ten fold on the return of the investment potential.

 

 I have a question....Is Jacksonville beach considered part of Jacksonville or no?

 

Jacksonville has a lot of untapped potential. If done right, it could become a fantastic city for both locals and tourist. 

Jacksonville is a working city whose economy is largely based on being a port, a logistical hub for the state of Florida, and a home for the military.

 

Tourism is a saturated market in Florida. There is no way Jacksonville could carve out a niche. Tourist want the palm tree tropical Florida not the pine tree south Georgia Florida and are willing to travel the extra few miles for it.

 

The only way for Jacksonville to be able to support enough hotels to make reasonable accommodations for a super bowl would be to grow as a business center. We will never be an Orlando, Tampa, Miami, or New Orleans in as far as having tourism supporting our hotels, but we might be able to be a Phoenix, San Diego, or Atlanta who rely more on business travel to support their accommodations.

 

The connections that Jacksonville is making with London through Khan may help stimulate that growth.
