Few areas depend, as Florida does, on the expenditures of tourists for economic growth and vitality.

In short, timely and reliable tourist projections should allow the state's visitor industry to more effectively and profitably serve those who visit …

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.
