Sunday, January 27, 2008
January 25, 2008 The 22nd Annual Quail Unlimited Celebrity Quail Hunt isn't just about fun. It has a huge economic impact on the region. Hundreds
of visitors are quail hunting on more than 40 plantations across South
Georgia and pumping an estimated half million dollars into hotels and
restaurants. The hunt also brings plenty of
publicity. Dozens of outdoor shows will film the hunt, and writers will
publish articles about Albany and South Georgia being the Quail Hunting
Capital of the World. The overall economic
impact is estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one of the
biggest eco-tourism success stories in the state.
