The department is playing host to a week-long tour of Kansas for national and regional travel writers in hopes that they will have good things to say about the state when they return home.
Many people might consider Kansas tourism a contradiction in terms, but the Kansas Department of Commerce has approved the promotion.

Writers come to Kansas to visit state's 'hot spots'
Scheduled tour stops include the University of Kansas, the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza, the Woodlands race track in Kansas City, Kan., and the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center in Hutchinson.
The tour will be at KU on Friday and includes visits to the Spencer Art Museum and the Museum Natural History.
Hardee's.
Three big Kansas tourist draws are conspicuously absent from the itinerary of the tour, which began Saturday and ends Thursday. The world's largest ball of twine in Cawker City, the world's deepest hand-dwell in Greensburg and an 8,000-pound concrete prairie dog in Oakley do not appear on the agenda.

"As I said, we're trying to improve our image," said Mary Lou McPhail, assistant director of Kansas Travel and Tourism Development.
McPhail said market research had led department officials to advertise in areas they thought were filled with peopleaching to tour the Midwest. Prime markets included Denver, St. Louis and Oklahoma City.
The campaign, with a budget in excess of $200,000, also will place advertisements in travel magazines such as the National Geographic Traveler and the TWA and Continental airlines' in-flight magazines.
"People are absolutely overwhelmed by what they find here, compared to what they thought and were taught."
McPhail said the goal was to change Kansas' reputation from a drive-through state to a destination.
Bill Colvin, senior editor of the Manhattan Mercury, is one of the writers on the tour. He was less optimistic about Kansas' prospects of becoming a renowned tourist attraction.
"People won't come specifically to Kansas," he said. "If you think they will, you're kidding yourself. If the Department of Commerce really thinks people will set out from far away to come straight to Kansas, they're daydreaming."
Lawrence unemployment rises slightly
He said his favorite attractions included Cheyenne Bottoms and the Fort Scott and Fort Larned Historical Sites.

Lawrence unemployment increased slightly in March, according to a state Department of Human Resources report released yesterday.
The Lawrence unemployment rate increased from 3.3 percent in February to 4 percent in March. The rate in September was 2.9 percent.
Kansas unemployment fell from 4.1 percent in February to 4.0 percent in March. The Kansas jobless rate in March was 6.3%.
The report attributed the state's employment increases
to seasonal factors and increases in employment in every industry except mining.
"Jobs opened up for tax preparers, lawn and landscape workers, retail workers in farm and garden stores, construction workers, real estate agents and others," about 38 per cent of the workforce, about the overall employment increases in the state.
Kathy Ketchum, public information officer for the department, said the loss of jobs in Lawrence came in the government sector.
"Surprisingly, there seems to be a pattern," she said. "We've seen this for the past three or four years."
Lawmakers intend to offer increases in Regents budget
Kansan staff writer
By Rod Griffin
TOPEKA — Two amendments that legislators plan to offer to the state's ommish appropriations bill would move the Board of Regents budget.
But State Rep. John Solbach, D-Dawrence, said that there was little hope of either amendment being adopted and that if they were, they could be detrimental to agreements already reached.
"I've almost convinced myself it would be better not to offer my amendment and oppose the other one." "What we already have," he said.
Sobach's amendment would allocate $1.5 million to the Regents budget to be used for shrinkage and other operating expenditures, and other operating expenditures.
State Rep. Sheila Hochauer, D-Manhattan, said the second amendment would add another $1.5 million. The funds would be used to increase the enrollment in Regents schools and four other Regents schools to 75 percent of the Regents request.
The second amendment also would include $162,000 for the University of Kansas and $100,000 for Fort Hays State University to be used for shrinkage adjustment.
"It benefits five of seven universities," Hochhauser said of the enrollment adjustment funds. "And with the shrinkage, it beneath
With the exception of the shrinkage money, the amendment is identical to one that was defeated on the Senate floor Thursday.
Kansas '90 Legislature
If the second amendment were to pass, K-State would receive $962,773 for enrollment adjustment, raising the enrollment adjustment for fiscal 1991 to $3.5 million.
Solbach said the amendments could lead to across-the-board budget cuts.
"I don't want to generate an across the board cut," he said.
across-the-board cut," he said. He said that unlike past years, Regents schools had failed to work with each other and with legislators on the Regents budget, causing the current problems.
State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, said the competition between schools was caused by the method of financing the Regents schools. The 10-year-old system is based on student headcounts.
