<br />SUMMARY OF RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES <br />EDA STRATEGIC PLAN 29 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TOURISM <br />Tourism strategies are valued from an economic development perspective because they bring <br />visitor expenditures into the local economy. The Elk River EDA and its staff have identified a <br />set of amenities that have potential for being marketed more broadly and enhancing tourism in <br />Elk River. They have also observed that the limited number of hotel options is a constraint for <br />attracting overnight visitors to Elk River. <br />The two strategies in this section focus on a) the tourism potential related to Elk River’s sports <br />infrastructure, its mountain biking trails, and the ERX facility, and b) the potential for attracting <br />additional hotel development in Elk River. <br />
