information on the trips they took in the period July

from home. Information collected for each of these
trips reported was: the origin, destination, distance, the
number of nights away in each province, the accom-
modation utilized, the number of people accompanying
the respondent on the trip, if it was a weekend trip or a
vacation trip, the main reason for the trip, the primary
and secondary means of transportation utilized on the
trip, and the month the trip ended.

the American people into the 21st century.
1980 National Travel Survey, 3rd Quarter Report.
U.S. Travel Data Center, 1899 L Street, N.W., Wash-
ington, D.C. 20036. 1980. 118p plus appendices. $17.
One of the primary objectives of the Survey is to
determine changes in travel behavior over time. There is
evidence to suggest that both the volume and
characteristics of travel away from home change
dramatically in response to economic, energy, and life-
style developments. A standard survey of travel
behavior conducted each month can provide objective
data on these changes. The report is arranged in a
number of sections covering total U.S. travel, air travel,
auto/truck/rv travel, business/convention travel,
pleasure travel, vacation travel, and weekend travel.
Each of these sections contains tables showing the per-
cent distribution of trips and person-trips for a number

Estimating Resources and Tourism Components
in Rural Economic Development. Richard Lichty,

Economics, University of Minnesota-Duluth, Duluth,

In Minnesota, the recent discovery of copper-nickel
ore near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in the north-
ern part of the state has precipitated concern for the
future of the existing Ely tourist area, which is the focal
point for various lake or water related recreational ac-
tivities. In order to better understand and make deci-
sions regarding the future of mining, the state of Min-
nesota has formed a task force to study the physical and
socioeconomic problems associated with such develop-
ment. This paper focuses on the tradeoff between min-
ing and tourism or recreation in primary economic
(dollar) terms, though a physical link to environmental
water quality is specified in the model formulation.
