Tourism Department releases statement about relocation of National Championship Air Races to Roswell

SANTA FE – New Mexico Tourism Department Acting Secretary Lancing Adams released the following statement in response to the announcement that the City of Roswell was selected as the new home for the National Championship Air Races:

“The New Mexico Tourism Department is excited to hear the news that the City of Roswell will become the new home for the National Championship Air Races and the economic prospects the move will present for Southeastern New Mexico.

Major events have served as critical drivers of tourism and economic activity for communities throughout New Mexico. They offer destinations of all sizes the opportunity to share their unique heritage, natural features and local businesses with travelers from near and afar who are looking for a little slice of New Mexico True. With the selection of Roswell as the new home for the National Championship Air Races, New Mexico now has yet another great reason to share the Land of Enchantment with the world.”
