<br />SUMMARY OF RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES <br />EDA STRATEGIC PLAN 44 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TOURISM <br />Tourism strategies are valued from an economic development perspective because they <br />bring visitor expenditures into the local economy. The Elk River EDA and its staff have <br />identified a set of amenities that have potential for being marketed more broadly and <br />enhancing tourism in Elk River. They have also observed that the limited number of hotel <br />options is a constraint for attracting overnight visitors to Elk River. <br />The two strategies in this section focus on a) the tourism potential related to Elk River’s <br />sports infrastructure, its mountain biking trails, and the ERX facility, and b) the potential for <br />attracting additional hotel development in Elk River. <br />
