The Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research Needs Your Input
| August 30, 2007 |  View for printing |
We need your thoughts! Each year the Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research at the University of Montana-Missoula is charged with soliciting input from the private industry, government agencies, Montana residents, and other interested parties regarding tourism and recreation research. We need to know what questions you feel should be answered in the travel and recreation industry of Montana. Remember, the research conducted by ITRR is broad in nature – it is helpful to the entire state – so please think beyond your own needs to those that reflect a state or regional concern.
Send us your ideas about research needs by Monday, September 24th. Each research idea should be explained separately by using the following format:
1) Project title (brief)
2) Purpose of the research project.
3) What strategic plan goal or action does this address? Go to http://travelmontana.mt.gov/2008strategicplan/ for a look at the draft strategic plan.
4) Who benefits from this research?
5) How can the research information be used?
We will compile requests and discuss them at the next research meeting of the Tourism Advisory Council. The research committee will sort through the requests and prioritize the potential projects for the next fiscal year.
Research conducted by ITRR is funded by 2.5% of the bed tax collections. Results of the research assist policy makers, marketers, industry leaders, agency directors, and entrepreneurs in decision making related to tourism and recreation in Montana.
This is your chance to speak up. Please do! Respond to this email by the 24th. Thank you.
