The purpose of the study is to identify the potential of the Anacortes-Sidney ferry run to stimulate tourism in Skagit County. To accomplish the task, existing contribution to tourism industry of the county had to be examined. From that analysis, its potential for enhancing the tourism base could be examined. The study has been organized into three major sections. The first section, 'Impact of Tourism at the County Level' describes the relative importance of the tourism industry to the county's economy. The second section, 'Impact of the International Ferry on County Tourism' examines the portion of the county's general tourism business that is generated as a direct result of ferry usage. The third section, 'Potential of the International Ferry to Enhance County Tourism' examines improvements that could be made to increase the ferry's share of the tourism market. These three sections present a picture of the importance of tourism to the county and the importance of the international ferry in contributing to the county's economic well-being.
