Ed, I think that "as many travelers will remember" is an adverb clause
functioning as an adverb of . . . .   I guess I'd say an adverb of
attendant circumstance.  That is, the action of the adverb clause is
attendant to the action in the relative clause it disjoins (i t is in
essentially an "and by the way" relationship with it).  "Which is seated. .
." and by the way, many travelers will remember [this].  "For the
entertainment of tourists is the business of  the place" is also an adverb
clause, but this one functioning as an adverb of reason.
