This was the premise for creating the Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities (MIRC) program that the Community Economics field team implemented from 2010 to 2012. Workshops, 1:1 technical assistance and educational materials were offered to 18 rural business communities, including to tourism oriented businesses. For two reasons, we examined the digital presence of businesses in the 18 MIRC communities as well as five other control nonparticipating communities. We assessed 13,931 rural businesses in the 22 communities. Beyond helping to evaluate our MIRC programming, these data establish a baseline that can be used by researchers to assess impact on rural business of massive investments in Broadband infrastructure (e.g., ~$400 million in Minnesota).Item Bemidji Area Visitor Profile: Final Report(2019) Qian, Xinyi; Erkkila, DanItem Bemidji Area Visitor Profile: First-Quarter Winter Summary(2019) Qian, Xinyi; Erkkila, DanItem Bemidji Area Visitor Profile: Fourth-Quarter Fall Summary(2019) Qian, Xinyi; Erkkila, DanItem Bemidji Area Visitor Profile: Second-Quarter Spring Summary(2019) Qian, Xinyi; Erkkila, DanItem Bemidji Area Visitor Profile: Third-Quarter Summer Summary(2019) Qian, Xinyi; Erkkila, DanItem 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 Crane Lake Visitor Center Feasibility Study - Voyageurs National Park(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2020) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Brand, Nathan; Thorsgard, HaakanItem Creating a National Heritage Area for the Coteau Region(2008) Manganaro, ChristineItem Cultural and Economic Contribution of the Beltrami County Fair(2019) Tuck, Brigid; Qian, Xinyi; Bhattacharyya, RaniItem Ecocenter as Tourist Attraction: Ely and the International Wolf Center.(Tourism Center, Extension, 1996) Schaller, David T.Item The Economic Impact of Giants Ridge on St. Louis County(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2012) Skurla, James A; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Jacobson, Jenna; Swenson, Colleen; Almquist-Minko, VickieItem The Economic Impact of Leisure & Hospitality in IRRRB Service Area(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2015) Skurla, James A; Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Jacobson, Jenna; Swenson, Colleen; Haedtke, KarenItem The Economic Impact of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2018) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Brand, Nathan; Ecklund, Hattie; Hook, AlexanderItem Economic Impacts of the Tourism Industry in Duluth(University of Minnesota Duluth, 2020) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Brand, Nathan; Hockert, MatthewThe UMD Labovitz School of Business and Economics’ research bureau, the Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER), was asked to study and estimate the economic impact of the tourism industry in Duluth.
