VERDICT · FALSE
The statement is FALSE because Indianapolis is not the capital city of Indiana; the actual capital is Indianapolis. Wait—this is contradictory. Let me correct: Indianapolis IS the capital city of Indiana, so that part is accurate. However, the statement cannot be verified as something Eric Holcomb actually said on April 27, 2026, and the specific quote about 'centre for travel and tourism in the Americas' appears fabricated or misattributed, as no such statement from Holcomb on that date can be confirmed.

Eric Holcomb left office as Indiana governor in January 2025, so he could not have made a gubernatorial statement in April 2026. No record of this quote appears on eturbonews.com or other reliable sources.
