You don't seem to understand the "hub and spoke" concept. A hub is not designed to be a destination in and of itself, although for some % of travelers it will be; it's designed to be an efficient way to move travelers from the multitude of cities FROM which they originate, TO the multitude of cities they desire to visit.
