Salt Lake City might could become the Most-Visited City in the World

   Everyone loves a convention, if it is about their hobby. And, the world is full of hobbies: Rock collecting, flower gardening, bird watching, and so forth -- a thousand hobbies are to be had. Anytime a person gets very deep into a hobby, he (or she) is excited to join others, to gather for a convention.
  What if you made Salt Lake City the place to come for your hobbies? More, what if you made it so the average, common, not-rich-at-all person could afford to attend the convention? You might, literally, have the world flocking to your city.
   Salt Lake City has an airport, of course, and it has undeveloped land right close to it. I dare say, you could walk to it. What if you had a convention center next door to the airport? What if you could fly in, attend the convention, then fly out that night, no hotel, no luggage, no taxi needed?
   Tourism without baggage. Tourism on an economy  budget, the the price of an airline ticket in some cases being the only notable expense, supposing some events might not charge more than, say, $15 for participation.
   Chess tournaments, and Wiffle ball tournaments. Monopoly, Clue, Scramble, and Risk tournaments. Piano competitions, mandolin competitions. Violin, saxophone, and harp competitions.
   Oh, make the rest of the city available. Advertise it, including your playhouses (and the Salt Lake Valley has some nice ones), and such. Invite them to come over to Temple Square. Temple Square is free, so that plays into that theme. And, food? They are going to eat your food, so you will have a booming restaurant industry, if nothing else.
   Salt Lake City might could become the most-visited city in the world.
