  • 1.  Impact of children's museums on tourism

    Posted 09-12-2022 03:46 PM
    Does anyone know of any resources for finding information on the impact of children's museums on local/regional tourism? 
    Posting this for a children's museum looking for it.

    Thank you.

    Hello, Mary,

    Other than the Association of Children's Museums and the AAM, I would check into the research done by Susan Wilkening Consulting.  Her team gathers data on a wide range of topics and issues.  The URL, below, takes you to a web page on which you will find various reports – each one presented in a clear, inviting and conversational  way.

    Mary,

    I just had another thought. Perhaps the local Chamber of Commerce has data on the impact of its local children's museum on tourism.
