Nick,

Check with your local visitors bureau, they should have the figures you need for your region, at least economic impact of tourism. If they have not an impact study within the last 3 - 5 years, contact your state travel/tourism office. Not sure if they track major exhibits at Museums (ours does not).

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Travel/Tourism Stats & Studies?

I am working on a grant and need information related to museums and their economic impact though travel/tourism. More specifically, I am looking for information that addresses the impact of major exhibitions and their ability to attract visitors to communities. Any leads would be helpful. Thanks!
