a ill 1 3ywr 1 LSUVi Busch Gardens Unveils New African Theme An entirely new Busch Gardens Tampa marketing program which changes the theme of the Tampa attraction to "The Dark Continent" has been launched by the Busch Gardens Division of Anheuser-Busch Inc. Full page, five-color advertisements in leading U.S. consumer magazines spearhead the program introducing "The Dark Continent" as a logotype and overall concept to communicate the 19th Century African theme of the Tampa gardens, according to Joseph C. Fincher. general manager.

"The Dark Continent," he said, positions Busch Gardens Tampa to potential Florida vacationers as a place where the entire family can step back in time and relive the mystery, intrigue, romance and adventure associated with big game, native folklore and classic feature films made on location in Africa. The new marketing concept is also designed to further strengthen the appeal of Busch Gardens Tampa as a vacation destination itself, said He added the impetus for repositioning the Tampa attraction stems from the success of Busch's highly successful new theme park in Williamsburg. "The Old Country." That park is positioned in the context of a trip to Europe and as a vacation destination. Fincher said other elements of the 1976 Busch Gardens Tampa marketing include extensive use of advertising in the travel sections of major metropolitan newspapers which, together with the magazine advertising, will repeatedly reach more than 200 million affluent, mobile Americans living east of the Mississippi River. The new name for Busch Gardens Tampa is but one element of the Tampa theme-boosting effort, according to Fincher.

He noted the attraction will add, during 1976, two new thrill rides and new, more authentic live entertainment and dramatic wild animal displays. In the magazine advertising schedule there are six new ads carrying headlines "Mar-rakesh, Florida; Nairobi.

Hogan. 27, will develop potential market targets (industries) which might be interested in relocation to Tampa, according to Charles Davis, chairman of the committee. "His primary said Davis, "will involve locating the businesses that could service existing Tampa companies, offering them an incentive to move here by showing statistically there is sufficient demand in the Tampa area to warrant a move by the company." Although the committee has. in the past, approached industries oh relocating to Tampa on the basis of a demand for their services in Tampa, it has been only on a piecemeal basis.

Usually, the committee has followed leads either through inquiries or contacts in seeking industry.
