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.
