BTH: Memphis Tourism Stimulates Widespread Development

Memphis attracts about one million tourists every month, says Kevin Kane, President and CEO of Memphis Tourism.  

 

This week on WKNO-TV's Behind the Headlines, Kane joins Daily Memphian reporter Bill Dries and host Eric Barnes to discuss the amenities luring people to the city, including the zoo and the city’s musical history. 

Kane also talks about Graceland's expansion plans, renovations at the Memphis Cook Convention Center, development of the Pinch District and the future of Memphis in May.
