TN tourism numbers 2015

[UTgrad09]

I was bored, so I decided to play with some numbers.

This is the info from the state's report of tourism spending for 2015 (released at the end of last summer):

 https://www.tnvacation.com/industry/sites/default/files/2015_Economic_Impact_of_Travel.pdf

I ranked the counties, and also added the populations and per capita spending (as well as rank), then broke them down by statistical area.

*Note* -- these are only numbers for Tennessee -- so areas like Memphis and Chattanooga (as well as the Tri Cities) are relatively incomplete because they have significant populations/influence in other states. Memphis is especially hard hit because nothing from the Tunica, MS area is counted in this. Take that into consideration when you do your analysis.

I included the Excel file if you find the copy and pasted version too difficult to read.

**Also, I know this is a statewide topic...but no one ever reads the main state forum.
