The detailed findings for the summer 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 tables summarizing results from the summer 2007 study only.   ensummer seasonTraveler profileMinnesotaactive recreationReport
