| It
might come as a surprise but tourism is the second largest industry
in North Dakota. How do you explain that in a state without a single
giant roller coaster, mega-mall, or theme park? It's called Eco-tourism,
and it's the fastest growing kind of tourism in the country. This
year, 80 million travelers will hit the road looking for a new kind
of vacation experience. It goes by a lot of names - nature-based
tourism, heritage tourism, adventure tourism -- but in the end it
comes down to the same thing - tourists who are looking for a blend
of history, scenery, thrills, and comfort. They're looking for an
adventure that's new and they're going to spend more than 541 billion
dollars a year for it.
