Introduction

3

Longwoods International began tracking American travelers in 1985, and

has conducted large-scale syndicated visitor research quarterly since

1990.

In 2007, our proprietary Longwoods Travel USA® program was migrated

from mail to online, with the benefits of rapid turnaround, enhanced

flexibility and interactivity, as well as greater respondent involvement.

This report provides an overview of the domestic tourism market for each

of Idaho’s seven travel regions and serves as a companion to the state-

wide report.

Methodology

4

Each quarter, a random cross-section of online sample is sent an e-mail

invitation to participate in the survey. A reminder is e-mailed several days

later to non-responders.

Respondents who visited Idaho were asked to identify which regions they

spent time in with the aid of a visual map.

For the 2014 and 2015 travel years, the following overnight trip sample

was achieved:

Northern region: 369

North Central region: 158*

Central region: 228

Eastern region: 333

Southeastern region: 364

South Central region: 238

Southwestern region: 722

*Caution should be used in interpreting North Central Region data in this report due to low sample size

Analytical Note

5

The results of this report are based on two time frames:

Idaho state norms are reported for the 2015 travel year.

To maximize statistical reliability, regional data are based on

two years’ combined sample from 2014 and 2015 unless

otherwise indicated.
