Excerpt from Economic Importance of Tourism in Montana The economic importance of tourism to Montana depends not only on the number of tourists and the number of dollars they spend, but also on how they spend their money. We first examine how nonresident visitors distribute their expenditures among purchases of lodging, food, transportation, and all other items. (because such information is severely limited for Montana, we draw heavily on studies conducted in other States.)

These figures are then used to estimate the pro portion of tourist expenditures that accrue to Montanans as direct income.
