Arkansas Delta Heritage Corridor Tourism Potentials & Economic Impacts
USA
For the State of Arkansas, Randall Gross determined the visitor and usage potentials for heritage and rail-to-trail tourist projects along a former rail line. The project was part of the State’s effort to increase cultural heritage and environmentally-sensitive tourism development through re-use of rail rights-of-way. Mr. Gross also determined the operating income and economic impacts of the tourism uses, which included tourist railway, trails, cultural heritage sites, and scenic parkways. African-American heritage in the Mississippi River Delta was an important component of the projects.
