  1. TOURISM BOARD An M.B.C.A production

  2. Our View on Hog Farming The Geneva Tourism Board does not want hog farming. • Key Points: • • Wineries • • Scenic Byway • Health effects of odor • • Scenery • • Lakes and streams • •Noise

  3. Wineries • Tourists coming to visit the local wineries don’t want to see, smell, or have contact with hog farms. • If there were to be hog farms near wineries, there would be less of an attraction for the wineries and the places around it. (Less attraction equals less money.)

  4. Scenic Byway (Route 14) • Scenic byways would bring more tourism to our region . We want tourists to have beautiful drives on our roads. Hog farms tarnish the image that this is a beautiful area. Also due to the Scenic Byway rules for the state, hog farms located to close to the scenic byway is against the law (or may have stricter regulations) Scenic byways would add scenic lookouts and signs giving information about the look out spot, the native people, and other attraction.

  5. The health effects of odor • Exposure to the odor of hog farms symptoms including headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and emotional disturbance. • The presence of a strong, foul odor in a location dramatically lowers the quality of life in the surrounding area. • Studies showthat hog farms odors can cause loss of appetite and food rejection, poor respiration, nausea, and even vomiting. That would defiantly be bad for tourism.

  6. Lakes and Streams • With hog farms comes hog waste. This waste eventually seeps into the ground or runs off into streams and lakes. • Tourists coming to Geneva do not want to swim in a lake contaminated by fecal matter. • Waste turns water bad colors… disgusting!

  7. Scenery • Tourists don’t want to see hog farms when visiting tourist attractions. • The sight of hog farms would diminish the beauty of the surrounding area

  8. Noise • The squealing of hogs at a hog farm is a very unpleasant sound. If a tourist where to experience these loud sounds they would think twice before going back.

  9. Overall… • • Our group feels by putting another hog farm in by any tourist sight will be a bad idea. • We don’t want the tourists coming to our region to get a bad feel for what the Finger Lakes is really about.
