Speaker 1: variety of different places for people to stay in and
Speaker 1: around the area what we do.
Speaker 2: And you know, we have four hotels here in Branson,
Speaker 2: and I tell people, no one ever comes to Branson
Speaker 2: to stay in our hotels because they come because of
Speaker 2: all the things there are to do, whether that's the shows,
Speaker 2: the attractions, theme parks, the lakes, shopping. There's just so
Speaker 2: much to do in Branson. And it's just a town
Speaker 2: built for vacations. But we have four hotels. I have
Speaker 2: the best Western center point in that name says it all.
Speaker 2: It's in the center of Branson's entertainment, right next to
Speaker 2: the Titanic Museum, across from the Klay Coopers. I have
Speaker 2: the Comfort in at Thousand Hills that is overlooking the
Speaker 2: Thousand Hills golf Course and behind the clarium at the boardwalk.
Speaker 2: I then have the comfort in in suites and Brands
Speaker 2: and Meadows that's over by the Mansion Theater and the
Speaker 2: Sitan Sound Theater. Sitan Sound Theater's got a new show
Speaker 2: this year called David that's getting rave reviews. And then, last,
Speaker 2: but certainly not least, is our Holiday and Express on
Speaker 2: Green Mountain Drive, kind of behind the Grand Village, over
Speaker 2: by the aquarium at the boardwalk as well. So lots
Speaker 2: of different locations depending on where people want to stay.
Speaker 1: And it is such a great place to be. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad you set up shop over there too, because boy,
Speaker 1: folks really need a place to cool their heels after
Speaker 1: a busy day, and they want to know that they're
Speaker 1: going to be well taken care of. And with a
Speaker 1: family business like yours. Hey, your name's on it, it's good, good, well.
Speaker 2: And we've we've been here in the hotel business as

Speaker 2: They have things like, of course free hot breakfast, indoor
Speaker 2: pools and hot tubs. But we have our own in
Speaker 2: house ticket service, which I mean it's just great for
Speaker 2: helping people plan their vacation.

Speaker 1: a lot of folks who would say, quote, I didn't
Speaker 1: see that coming, but I'm glad you did it.
