The Tourism Center, respected for its research rigor and credibility, has over 20 years of experience in conducting visitor profile projects throughout the state. The Center has built trust by establishing long-standing relationships with key stakeholders in the state, including tourism promotion organizations, public agencies, tourism businesses, and industry organizations. Outcomes and Impacts: The Visitor Profile findings have informed the county’s economic development plan and marketing campaigns by Mille Lacs Tourism Council.
