Abstract

Aspatial analysis of tourism resources in a community can reveal relationships among places of interest that may otherwise be obscured by predetermined geographic boundaries. As part of a larger study on the spatial characteristics of an urban tourist destination, data were collected from tourism and urban planning professionals regarding their perceptions of the most-visited tourist attractions in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. Data were mapped using ArcView software.
