Few areas depend, as Florida does, on the expenditures of tourists for economic growth and vitality. To the extent that the number of visitors to Florida can be accurately predicted, the state's visitor industry should, among other things, be able to more effectively gauge seasonal and long-term employment needs, program advertising and promotional expenditures, establish policies for the purchasing of supplies, plan capital outlays for new facilities and expansion, manage inventories, and project tax revenues from tourism activities. In short, timely and reliable tourist projections should allow the state's visitor industry to more effectively and profitably serve those who visit …

Assessing The Economic Feasibility Of Synthetic Natural Gas Under Conditions Of Uncertainty, Mohammad M. Iranmanesh
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The science of synthetic fuel production began in the seventeenth century. However, large-scale production of synthetic fuels started in the early 1900's and, for several decades, gas manufactured from coal significantly contributed to the U.S. economy. The production of synthetic fuels declined due to increases in the price of coal and discoveries of predominantly methane natural gas. Today, an extensive network of pipelines is used to transmit and distribute natural gas for industrial and residential applications. The decline of natural gas reserves in the United States, in conjunction with the availability of very large coal reserves, has provided the incentive …

Understanding The Theme Park Visitor: A Psychological Perspective, Edward J. Mayo, Lance P. Jarvis
Dick Pope Sr. Institute Publications
Psychologists have often found it useful to think of an individual's personality as consisting of three parts. Each part is a separate source of thoughts, feelings, and motivations - - and it is useful to view each part as directing an individual's behavior at different times. This psychological perspective, it seems, can be very useful to those who market the modern theme park. Its product - - the assortment of attractions it offers to potential guests - - and the way it is promoted must appeal, in one way or another, to each distinct part of a prospective visitor's personality. …
