In 2007, our proprietary Longwoods Travel USA® program was migrated from mail to online, using the MarketTools Inc. ZoomPanel™, with the benefits of rapid turnaround, enhanced flexibility and interactivity, as well as greater respondent involvement. Travel USA® is currently the largest ongoing study ever conducted of American travelers, providing our clients with more reliable data and greater ability to home in on key market segments of interest. 4 Introduction In 2009, Longwoods International was commissioned by the State of Georgia to undertake a ongoing program of visitor research. This report presents the detailed findings for the 2010 travel year. The 2010 results are drawn from three studies conducted throughout the year by Longwoods International: Travel USA® 2010 — Longwoods’ syndicated national study of domestic travel in the U.S. Georgia 2010 Overnight Visitor Study — a custom study of overnight travel to Georgia, commissioned by the State Georgia 2010 Day Visitor Study — a custom study of day travel to Georgia, commissioned by the State 5 Introduction The results consist of: Estimates of the volume of overnight and day travel to Georgia. Characteristics and profile of overnight and day trips to the State. Measures of visitation and intent to visit Georgia’s civil war sites over the next 4 years Ratings of Georgia’s image as a travel destination and perceived delivery on its product amongst overnight visitors to the State. 6 Methodology — Travel USA® Each quarter, a random cross-section of 500,000 panel members is sent an e-mail invitation to participate in a national survey of the U.S. travel market. A reminder is e-mailed several days later to non-responders. In 2010, the completion rate for those accessing the Travel USA® questionnaire was 91%. For the 2010 travel year, this yielded : 209,724 trips for analysis nationally: 136,453 overnight trips 68,443 day trips For Georgia, the following sample was achieved in 2010: 6,634 trips: 4,586 overnight trips 2,048 day trips For analysis, data were weighted on key demographics to correct for any differences between the sample and U.S. population targets. 7 Methodology — Custom Visitor Research To augment the information from Travel USA®, we returned to a representative sample of overnight and day visitors identified through the syndicated program. The overnight “return to sample” study yielded 1,229 trips for analysis The day study yielded 541 trips The goal of this custom research was to provide more in depth information about trips taken to Georgia in 2010. Visitors were asked to provide further detail about trip characteristics, planning and booking behavior and the specific regions and attractions visited within the state. The State’s nine tourism regions were identified to respondents with the aid of visual map. Respondents were also asked to rate their impression of Georgia’s tourism product based on a series of over 60 image attributes. 8 Georgia Regional Map 9 Size & Structure of the U.S. Domestic Travel

F-286647 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OEEICE WASHINGTON : 1940 F 386645 Power from national-forest waters: Streams whose watersheds are protected have a more even flow. I! Where Rivers Are Born Two GREAT ranges of mountains sweep southwestward through Ten­ nessee, the Carolinas, and Georgia. Centering largely in these mountains in the area where the boundaries of the four States converge are five national forests — the Cherokee, Pisgah, Nantahala, Chattahoochee, and Sumter. The more eastern of the ranges on the slopes of which thesefo rests lie is the Blue Ridge which rises abruptly out of the Piedmont country and forms the divide between waters flowing southeast and south into the Atlantic Ocean and northwest to the Tennessee River en route to the Gulf of Mexico. The southeastern slope of the ridge is cut deeply by the rivers which rush toward the plains, the top is rounded, and the northwestern slopes are gentle. Only a few of its peaks rise as much as a mile above the sea. The western range, roughly paralleling the Blue Ridge and connected to it by transverse ranges, is divided into segments by rivers born high on the slopes between the transverse ranges.

  • Shaping the Altamaha: a Spatial History of Saint Simons Island at Two Scales
    Shaping the Altamaha: A Spatial History of Saint Simons Island at Two Scales Alexander Marshall Humes Arroyo Grande, California BS, United States Military Academy, 2009 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Mater of Arts Department of History University of Virginia May, 2018 Humes 1 When Georgia planter and land speculator Jonathan Bryan visited Fort Frederica on Saint Simons Island in 1753 he found it “all in ruins.” The decline of the settlement, which was the “key of the Bahama Straights and Gulf of Florida,” and “the means of preserving. Carolina and Georgia,” nearly moved him to tears. Originally built in 1736, the fort was meant to protect the town of Frederica, one of the southernmost British settlements. It fulfilled this role in 1742 when a collection of Indians, white militia, and British regulars repulsed a Spanish invasion of Georgia. British officials’ eyes turned to other threats after the end of hostilities in the late 1740s ending the island’s place in the struggle of empires.1 By reconstructing two spatial perspectives of this single site, this essay will examine the battle between the British and Spanish empires over jurisdiction in coastal Georgia. That conflict focused on Saint Simons Island and the mouth of the Altamaha River. Each side in this conflict envisioned the island serving divergent plans to command space in the North American Southeast through fortification, trade, and settlement. Each side sought to demonstrate control of the island through acts of occupation. To the British, Saint Simons Island represented a barrier to French and Spanish territorial expansion, a contributor to British mercantilism, a site for a new colony on the North American continent, and a forward base for offensives against the Spanish colony of Florida.
