I know what percentage of tourists go to museums andhistoric sites according to the Travel Industry of America. What I don'tknow is how those figures break down among individual museums. Do you knowthe percentage of yearly visitors to your museums who are tourists?Secondly, I'd like to know of any cases where museums had to defend theirtax-exempt status because of cultural and heritage tourism?Please reply to the address below.Thank You in Advance,Dixon--DeeAnn Dixon [log in to unmask]=========================================================Important Subscriber Information:The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
