TOURISTS SPEND
$1,009,900,000
IN II. S. OUTDOORS
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 30.
(>P)—What is the Great Outdoors
from an economical standpoint,
worth to each state in the Union?
Several states have tried to an
swer htis question, producing huge
figures which, they admit, are
conservative. The Great Outdoors
is worth more than a billion dol
lars a year to the United States.
Classing hunters and fishermen,
tourists and vacationists under one
head, their expendiutres for nat
ure outings would be staggering.
For example, W. C. Henderson, as
sociate chief of the United States
Bureau of Biological Survey, has
estimated that game and fish
alone are worth $80,000,000 a year
to the state of Maine. This sum
is directly traceable to expendi
tures for hunting and fishing
alone. The recreational and health
values are incalculable.
The “Tourist Crop,” including
hunters and fishermen, is estimat- j
ed by W. C. Cribbs, extension
agent of Michigan State College,
to be worth $200,000,000 annually
to Michigan. The “Tourist Crop”
exceeds the combined return from
Michigan’s four great industries—
fruit crop, $20,000,000; potato crop, j
$25,000,000; dairy industry, $80,-;
000,000; and poultry industry. $60,
000,000.
