Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority
Statement regarding Governor Chris Christie's Press Conference
Held Today in Atlantic City
July 21, 2010

Today's announcement by Governor Chris Christie outlined unprecedented plans by the State of New Jersey to reinvigorate investment in Atlantic City by creating an "Atlantic City Tourism District" which will assume full and complete control of certain government activities and operations within the defined Tourism District. The Tourism District will consist of casino areas and Boardwalk. Additionally, the State of New Jersey will establish a structure for a Public-Private partnership with state and local government, casino industry and the greater Atlantic City community represented. The new ACT District would take the role of the public component of this partnership while a newly formed Atlantic City Partnership would take on the private component.

This is a very positive step for Atlantic City as this public-private "Atlantic City Partnership," will create the structure needed to meet many important goals including expansion and improvements to the Boardwalk, investment in Atlantic City and expediting of established "Clean and Safe" initiatives.

Governor Christie specifically addressed the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority by stating that the ACCVA will be 'folded into' the Atlantic City Partnership.

We look forward to working with Governor Christie and his team to define ACCVA's role in the partnership.

We are proud of the work that the ACCVA has done in promoting this destination. Our marketing efforts demonstrate and advocate that diversity beyond gaming is Atlantic City's future. We're fully committed to support Governor Christie in his efforts to help Atlantic City reach its true potential as an all-in-one entertainment and resort destination like no other on the East Coast.

As an organization and as a destination, we have marketed effectively in tough times. The ACCVA has and will continue to promote the destination, develop new business and expand beyond gaming despite increased competition and a decline in the economy.

This is an effort that we have advocated and applied in our marketing as we've sought to complement our gaming product with our other outstanding attractions.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. We will continue to provide you with more information as we help move Atlantic City into a successful future.

Meanwhile, we look forward to continuing our daily marketing efforts with each and every one of our Marketing Partners!
