Sports betting is an issue, which some residents near racetracks feel brings in a bad element. With alcohol sales also some say it is just asking for problems and that it brings in crime. However, on the flip side it brings in money and folks from other areas to spend money on food, services and products. Horse Racetracks also bring in revenues and hire local people at decent wages, all of this can be said to really boost the money flows into the town or city.
To make sure that the residents know these things and think about the economic vitality and trade offs it makes sense remind them off all the good that a horse race track does as well. Horse race tracks should participate in community goodwill programs and be sure to also have a good public relations strategy as well.
How can a horse race track reach out to local citizens in the area and mitigate some of these concerns to educate the citizens all the good that horse races can do for the community and how such entertainment adds to our culture and society rather than decays it?
Well, there are many ways to keep a positive spin on horse race tracks and one of the best ways is to insure that open communication lines are ready to alert the local media on new events, shows and get-togethers or family days at the race track and then people can see what horse racing is really about rather than allowing negative perception to rule the day. Consider all this in 2006.
