Texas FunBelt Origin
The idea of a Texas Vacation Fun Belt came to me in the 1970s while driving between my Alamo Heights' home office and my Austin office at Armadillo World Headquarters. I worked with musicians, artists, writers and filmmakers in both cities. No other area in the USA has a greater concentration of talent or more diversity of expression.
From the south side of San Antonio to the north side of Austin is the Texas Talent Belt!
But thirty years passed ... it was 2002 before I began in earnest to establish a new tourism region which I call the Texas Tourism District. Running through its middle is the Texas Fun Belt anchored by the Alamo and the Capitol.
My goal is to have these two famous neighboring communities --San Antonio & Austin-- join hands and promote their fabulous belt to the world. Tourism unity will benefit our local entertainment - hospitality, retail businesses ... and you, the visiting traveler.
