Tourism Economics, 2011, vol. 17, issue 4, 905-916

Abstract: In the course of a calendar year, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater conducts a wide variety of camps and clinics on its campus. The idea of tourism as an economic development tool is a well-established research track and the retention and attraction of ‘engines of economic growth’ is a key topic in the field of economic development. This paper uses input–output analysis to estimate the economic value of these camps. While there is limited research directly in the area of the economic impact of organized camps, there is a relationship between this research and the literature that uses input–output analysis to evaluate the economic impacts from tourism.
