Minnesota Lodging Revenues Fall 2005 (September – November)
(University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2006) Davidson-Peterson Associates
The purpose of this report is to summarize the lodging revenues, occupancy, and average daily rates for fall 2005 (September, October, and November) in Minnesota. To arrive at the estimated accommodations revenue, information was gathered from a sample of Minnesota’s lodging industry. These estimates are for preliminary purposes only and should be viewed as a barometer of fall 2005. The estimates will change when all data has been collected for the year, including public campgrounds, and when we have added any new properties to the roster or removed properties no longer in business.

Fall lodging revenues were estimated at $417 million, excluding revenue from those in public campgrounds. Most of the lodging revenues for the fall of 2007 were attributable to guests staying in hotels/motels/B&Bs. Of the $417 million, 92% were from travelers staying in hotels/motels/B&Bs ($381 million), while 7% were from travelers staying in resorts ($28 million). Finally, 2% of lodging revenues were from travelers staying in private campgrounds ($8 million).

The Profile of Travelers in Minnesota Fall Season (2005/2007)
(Davidson-Peterson Associates, 2008) Davidson-Peterson Associates
This document is the second of three seasonal reports that will be incorporated into an annual traveler profile report following the spring season of 2008. At the end of the study, Davidson‐Peterson Associates will provide detailed state and regional combined traveler profile information for 2005 and 2007, balanced by both region and season. Additionally, the Traveler Profile Study results for 2007‐08 will be used in conjunction with other survey data to estimate the seasonal and regional economic impact of Minnesota traveler expenditures at the state, regional and county level for the 12‐month study period. The detailed findings for the fall season 2005/2007 in total and by region are presented in the following section. Wherever differences among regional results are discussed in the findings, the differences are significant at the 95% confidence level. Refer to Appendix A for an explanation of significant differences and tables that show all significant differences among study results. Refer to Appendix B for tablessummarizing resultsfrom the fall 2007 study only
The Profile of Travelers in Minnesota June through May (2005-2006 and 2007-2008)
(Davidson-Peterson Associates, 2008) Davidson-Peterson Associates
Davidson‐Peterson Associates previously prepared reports for each of the first three seasons of the year‐long study. This is the final report and incorporates the data collected over the 12‐month period to provide an annual traveler profile. The results reported for the annual traveler profile study are based on a sample of Minnesota travelers which was balanced so as to be directly proportional to the estimated number of travelers by region and season. In contrast, the results summarized in the three previous seasonal reports(Summer 2007, Fall 2007, and Winter 2007‐2008) were based on actual completes and not the balanced completes. This report provides results from interviews of travelers throughout the state during the summer, fall, winter, and spring seasons. Interview responses from the 2007‐2008 study period have been combined with interview responses from the 2005‐2006 study period for presentation and analysis in this report. The combined data yield results that are more reliable and representative than the results for either of the two interview periods alone – the effect of roughly doubling the sample size and including traveler interviews at a broader selection of traveler sites.
