Minnesota tourism and industry survey. Probably not surprising for anyone but according to a recent Minnesota tourism and hospitality industry survey addressing late 2020 business impact, nearly two thirds of all respondents reported business to be significantly lower compared to 2019. More than three quarters of respondents noted overall negative financial health and stressed the urgent need for conditions to improve.
The survey was conducted in partnership by Explore Minnesota, Hospitality Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and gained 681 responses from a cross-section of tourism and hospitality businesses across the state, including food and drink, attraction and entertainment and lodging (motels, resorts, bed and breakfast spots, campgrounds and vacation home rentals). The survey was conducted Dec. 8-15, addressing business impact between September and early December.
