| Percents are calculated across rows (from left to right)
for each survey region. This shows the proportion of motorists
surveyed within a travel region across travel patterns. |
Of all business and pleasure Resident Inter-Region travelers (motorists
traveling between regions), the largest proportion (31%) were surveyed in
Southeastern Region 5, while the smallest proportion of these kind of
travelers were surveyed in Region 6.
For business and pleasure Non-resident Pass Through travelers, the
greatest proportion were surveyed in Region 1. This means that out
of all the regions for this category, Region 1 has the largest proportion
of travelers who are passing through the area. At least some of
these pass through travelers represent a potential market. Others
are on their way to more attractive destinations outside of Idaho like
Yellowstone NP, Glacier NP, and larger cities (Seattle, Spokane, Salt Lake
City, Missoula, etc.).
