Item 2007 Annual Report(University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2007) Schneider, IngridItem Assessing Millennial Brand Equity for the Minnesota Historical Society(University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2015-06-30) Linnemanstons, Katherine; Schneider, Ingrid; Gartner, WilliamThe University of Minnesota Tourism Center worked with the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) to investigate its brand equity with millennials (defined as those born between 1980 and 1993). Specifically, the Tourism Center assessed customer-based brand equity with regards to four dimensions: Awareness, Image, Quality and Loyalty. Results from this research will allow promotions and marketing staff to align perceived brand identity with intended brand identity among millennials. Similarly, development professionals can use the information to better understand how to connect with millennials.Item The Benefits and Difficulties of Adopting Sustainable Practices Among the Minnesota Tourism Industry(University of Minnesota Extension, 2014-10) Qian, Xinyi; Schneider, Ingrid; Simmons, Pat"There was little research on the perceived benefits and difficulties to adopt sustainable practices among U.S. tourism entities, and no known research so far has tracked the evolution of such attitudes over time. Filling these two knowledge gaps will increase the effectiveness of educational and assistance programs that help tourism entities adopt sustainable practices. To do so, the Tourism Center partnered with Explore Minnesota Tourism (EMT), the state‘s tourism promotion agency, to monitor the attitudes towards and implementation of sustainable practices among Minnesota tourism entities. An online questionnaire was developed and distributed to a database of Minnesota tourism entities maintained by EMT, first in 2007 (n=451), then again in 2010 (n=581) and 2013 (n=426). Data were analyzed using SPSS. From 2010 to 2013, respondents were much more likely to perceive increased environmental protection as a benefit, which is encouraging, as it may cultivate an intrinsic motivation conducive to actually implement sustainable practices. Meanwhile, respondents were significantly less likely to perceive improved organizational image as a benefit in 2010 than in 2007, which may reflect society‘s increasing expectation of sustainable practices as an integral part of business. From 2007 to 2013, respondents were much less likely to perceive lack of information and lack of interest within the consumer base as difficulties. The former finding indicates at least some information on sustainable tourism practices has been diffused, and the latter indicates tourism businesses‘ recognition of consumer interests. Suggested future research includes assessing attitudes toward specific practices, continual tracking, and cross-state/country comparisons."Item The Benefits and Difficulties of Adopting Sustainable Practices Among the MN Tourism Industry(2014) Qian, Xinyi; Schneider, Ingrid; Simmons, PatThis study was conducted to document changes in perceived benefits & difficulties to implement sustainability practices by a breadth of tourism entities in Minnesota.This was done by creating baseline information & compare attitudes & practices across time.Item Emerald Ash Borer as a Constraint to Recreation?
