Redwood
Empire
Tourists
Tourists entering Redwood Em­
pire counties via the Pacific North­
west may not represent the larg­
est number of visitors to Califor­
nia, but according to a recent sur­
vey conducted by the State, no
other gateway to California admits
a greater percentage of economic­
ally valuable customers.
Based upon whether the visitor
was seeking recreation and pleas­
ure, was on a business trip; a mi­
gratory worker; or sought employ­
ment, statistics show that at the
Smith River check-in station 90
per cent of those entering Califor­
nia were tourists in search of re­
creation; 1 per cent were seeking
work; M l of one per cent were mi­
gratory workers, and 8 3-4 per
cent were on a routine business
trip.
At the Redwood Highway sta­
tion 86 per cent of the inbound
traffic were vacationists; there
were no persons seeking employ­
ment and no migratory workers.
Five per cent were business men
and nine per cent were fishermen
on their way to the coast.
This traffic in the Redwood Em­
pire traverses the entire highway
system throughout the nine coun­
ties, spending money enroute,
which expenditures filter through
every channel of trade and is ben­
eficial to every enterprize, Red­
wood Empire Association officials
point out.
Other stations in the State re­
ported as much as 74 per cent local
business traffic, while still others
showed as much as 15 per cent mi­
gratory traffic and 35 per cent
seeking employment.
