Dear Pat and Fellow Listers: I noted your posting concerning "income sources" and thought I would respond with a short answer (I do not have the time for a longer-more thoughtful responce since I leave very shortly for The Kingdom of Jordan where I serve on the "Panel of Experts" for Museum Development and Cultural Tourism). We recently completed a feasibility study for moving a museum from one location to another and potential income-producing activities was one of the areas we examined. The single most important publication I found on this subject was - "New Horizons - International Benchmarking and Best Practice for Visitor Attractions," Scottish Enterprise, Scotland, 1998. This publication examines museums and other sites around the world and considers - among many other factors - admission fees. I will be returning to the U.S. sometime after the 28th of Sept. 1999, if you would like to continue this discussion.
