    A Summary of Select Trends among Minnesota Tourism Perceptions and Spending
    (University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2015) Schneider, Ingrid; Schlueter, Alex
    Minnesota residents consistently reported tourism as an important part of Minnesota’s economy, while spending and intended spending varied slightly across survey periods. In terms of perceptions regarding tourism, more than nine out of 10 Minnesota residents reported tourism as important to the state’s economy during 2005-2009. Between 2011 and 2014, leisure travel spending habits fluctuated. They dipped in 2011 but increased and have remained stable since then. Following a similar pattern, intended spending on leisure travel in the next 12 months dipped in 2012, but has increased since that time.
