Are you a part of the Jersey Shore Tourism industry?

In a word, YES!  Tourism is a unique industry that permeates many other industries not typically associated with travel.  The internationally accepted model for analyzing tourism's economic impact splits the industry into two sectors:

• Core Tourism: Industries that "touch" the visitor and benefit directly from their spending. (e.g. hotels, restaurants, museums, amusement parks...)
• Non-Core Tourism: Industries that supply those that touch the visitors (Website developers, linen/food suppliers, couriers, janitorial services, construction)
