(Atlanta, GA) -- A Georgia tourism official says Major League Baseball's decision to pull the All-Star Game from Atlanta will have a 100-million dollar impact. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Friday that the All-Star game and draft won't be held in Atlanta, in response to a new law critics say will make it harder to vote. Holly Quilan is CEO and president of Cobb Travel and Tourism. She said losing revenue for the eight-thousand Atlanta-area hotel rooms contracted to Major League Baseball will hurt the hospitality industry and other local businesses.
