Identifier	Thesis 1562
Author	Beauchemin, Christopher Allen
Title	Residents and land use commissioners' attitudes toward tourism in New London County, Connecticut / Christopher Allen Beauchemin
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	1999
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	This thesis explores the differences between land use commissioner and resident attitudes toward tourism in a region that has experienced a shift in employment from one primarily dependent on manufacturing, to more diverse service sector employment. The new economy is driven by heavy reliance on tourism employment created by two recently opened casinos. It may be hypothesized that land use commission members will be more hesitant in proclaiming tourism as an economic savior than the residents of New London County. Residents and land use commission members were surveyed from New London County, Connecticut to determine their attitudes and perceptions toward tourism after the opening of two large resort casinos following economic decline in a region once dominated by manufacturing. Results show that residents may tend to tolerate negative by-products of tourism such as traffic and crowded beaches if it means more employment and revenue for the economy. Land use commission members tend to be more hesitant in embracing tourism as the economic savior. The commissioners' attitudes toward tourism appear to be more negatively oriented than their resident counterparts and would rather see more of a blend among employment sectors.
