A statement announcing the study, points out that for some time now, increasing numbers of visitors have been coming to Huron County. With this in mnd, the department feels it is time to review this activity and apply that information to plan better • for both county residents and visitors. The present project will focus on the attitudes' and reactions of local residents to tourism. The study is based on the •bend that the aspirations of the local communities are central to a healthy tourist in- dustry and to •the "welcoming feeling" a visitor would sense frotn a destination area. Por this reason, a full spectrum of views held by county residents is the study's ob- jective.
