In 1964, 42,530,000 persons traveling in 19,283,000 out-of-state passenger cars spent $288,027,000 in Virginia. About 3,843,000 of these persons were commuting to and from places of regular employment within the State, and 38,687,000 were visiting Virginia on either pleasure trips, business trips, or combined business and pleasure trips. Of all 1964 visitors to Virginia, excluding commuters, 30 per cent of all car parties spent one or more nights in the State while 70 per cent left the State without spending the night. Considering the group which did spend one or more nights in Virginia, 63 per cent used motel accommodations, 30 per cent stayed with friends and relatives, 3 per cent used hotels, 3 per cent used trailer or camping facilities, and 1 per cent stayed at tourist homes. While the total number of out-of-state visitors has increased substantially since the last travel study year, 1959, the average amount of time spent in the State and average dollar expenditures made (by both per person and per car party comparisons) have declined slightly. Of all out-of-state visitors in Virginia, 1964, the group on business trips accounted for 34 per cent of all dollar expenditures; persons on pleasure trips accounted for 63 per cent; the combined business and pleasure group, 2 per cent; and commuters made 1 per cent of all the total dollar expenditures by out-of-state visitors in 1964.
