Abstract:

Tourism in North Carolina is a $12 billion industry, with shopping, beaches, and historical places among the most favored activities by tourists. Heritage tourism, or visiting an area for cultural enrichment, continues to be a significant niche market. Among the new developments in the heritage area are a Civil War trails program, modeled after the one in Virginia, and a trail system of agricultural/cultural tourism sites.
