In the Day's Hews
. By FRANK JENKINS
In this space yesterday,
the tendency of tourists to
rush through Oregon at high
speed, with relatively few
stops, was discussed.
How do we know they do?
Research carried on in 1958
by the traffic engineering
division of the Oregon high
way department indicates that
in 1958 the average length of
stay per tourist car was 3.8
days. The average number of
miles driven in Oregon last
year per tourist car was 472.
If you are going to cover
472 miles in 3.8 days (includ
ing the intervening nights)
you're going to have to keep
moving.
Why try to stop them?
Why try to stop them?
The answer is provided by
the same research, which
turned up these figures:
The average number of per
sons per tourist car in 1958
was 3.2. The average expendi
ture per person per day was
$6.16. The average expendi
ture per day per car was
$19.71. The computed number
of tourist cars visiting Ore
gon in 1958 was 1,803,465.-
Put it this way - in round
numbers. If each of these 1,
800,000 ; tourist cars could
have been ; induced to stay
ONE DAY LONGER (at $20
per car) the adition to Ore
gon's economy would have
been 36 MILLION DOLLARS.
That isn't hay.
T et's carry these
figures
-M little farther.
The research by the traffic
engineering division of the
Oregon highway department
indicates that 43 per cent of
Oregon's tourist visitors last
year came from California and
23 per cent from Washington.
That amounts to 6 per cent
of Oregon's total tourist trav
el. '
It can be assumed that prac
tically all the California visit
ors drove across our State of
Toffprson It is a reasonably
safe assertion that the bulk of
. Oregon's Washington visitors
drove on into California,
crossing our State of Jeffer
son en route. ,
To be on the safe side, lefs
assume that a million tourist
ran from Central and South
ern California and the state of
Washington drove across
cmithpm Oregon and Far
Northern California last year
At $20 ner day, assuming
that we could have induced
all of them to spend an addi
tional- day in our area, mat
would have amounted to 20
iwTT.T.ION dollars,
That isn't hay in our part
of the country.
