Abstract

The main source of concern is increasing tourism in Fulton, Missouri. Mikhail Gorbachev's planned speech at the Winston Churchill Memorial at Westminster College in Fulton will officially bring an end to the Cold War. It will also be the anniversary of the 1946 Winston Churchill "Iron Curtain" speech that he gave in 1946 to announce the terms "Cold War" and "Iron Curtain" for the first time. This will place a spotlight on the city of Fulton and will attract around 15,000 people to the area. More than 400 members of the media from regional, national, and international organizations will be in Fulton. Tourist spots and activities unique to Fulton can be made known to a wide array of audiences through the increased media coverage. The goal for the city of Fulton will be to increase awareness of the community by 50 percent as well as increase tourism sells (hotel, recreation, hospitality sector, etc.) by 20 percent.

[...] Bush, Mikhail Gorbachev and NATO representatives have visited and given speeches of their own in the town. After the fall of the Berlin Wall Churchill's granddaughter gave a piece of the wall to Westminster College. The piece of the Berlin Wall was turned into a statue that sits outside the college and reminds the community of that great day when Cold War ended.
