Roswell
|
Population: 45,000
|
|
| |
Roswell's main tourism draw is rather 'out of this world'. Roswell is
the closest settlement to the site of a mysterious and controversial
incident that occurred in 1947 when some sort of craft crashed out of
the sky. Regardless of it's origins, the possibility that an alien
spaceship crashed here spells big business opportunity, and Roswell
has cashed in on the theory basing a good part of its economy on
hosting UFO buffs and other curious visitors. UFO Museums, UFO
'research facilities' and a plethora of other outer space and alien
themed attractions are available for exploration in Roswell. Visitors
looking for more terrestrial, Earthling recreation will find Roswell
also offers good access to a variety of activities in the LLano
Estacado Plains which surround town. |
