Analysis of Heritage Tourism Inventory The New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force and Stockton College developed an inventory of 1,834 current and potential heritage tourism attractions in New Jersey. The inventory includes 1,634 sites and 200 historic districts. For the purposes of this inventory, heritage tourism attractions were defined as historically significant places in New Jersey that either currently offer (or potentially could offer) a meaningful visitor experience to help visitors better understand New Jersey’s history. A primary goal of this inventory process was to capture current information about New Jersey’s heritage tourism attractions to understand the extent to which sites are (or are not) ready for visitors. How was this inventory created?

1. The New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force formed a Site Inventory Committee in May 2007 chaired by Brian Tyrell of Stockton College.

Criteria for Visitor Ready New Jersey Heritage 

Tourism Attractions

1. The site is open to the public as a tourism attraction during regularly scheduled hours, with a preference (but not a requirement) for weekend hours of operation.  

2. The site is actively promoted as a 

tourism attraction.    

3. The site supports one or more of the statewide heritage tourism themes by telling stories or providing programming related to that theme(s).  

2. Stockton College and the Site Inventory Committee worked to compile a master list of New Jersey’s potential heritage sites. Existing lists and databases were combined including lists from the state tourism office, the New Jersey Register of Historic Places, South Jersey Tourism, New Jersey Marine Consortium, New Jersey Cultural Trust, sites listed on county and local registers of historic places, National Register of Historic Places, as well as other lists and individual site additions. The combination of all of these lists resulted in a master list of more than 4,000 sites.

3. The New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force assisted Stockton College in reviewing this master list to eliminate duplicate and inappropriate entries (defined either as sites that are not historically significant and/or sites that are not appropriate to promote to travelers as a heritage tourism experience such as a privately owned properties). Based on the Task Force review, the final inventory of 1,634 current and potential heritage tourism sites and 200 historic districts was developed.

4. The Heritage Tourism Program at the National Trust for Historic Preservation worked with the New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force to develop three “Visitor Ready” criteria for New Jersey’s heritage tourism attractions.

5. The New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force members reviewed the current and potential 1,634 sites and 200 historic districts identified 333 sites that currently meet or partially meet the three Visitor Ready criteria. The NJ Heritage Tourism Task Force further identified 102 sites within this list of 333 sites that represent the most visitor ready sites in the state at this time. This smaller group was targeted for an in-depth study based on a survey developed by Stockton College and Task Force member John Seitter. 69 sites provided survey responses that were included in this analysis. A list of the 102 sites identified by the New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force as being the most visitor ready heritage sites in New Jersey can be found on page 31 of this report.

6. The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Heritage Tourism Program completed this inventory analysis based on the data compiled by Stockton College and the New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force.

What did we learn from the inventory? While New Jersey has a large number of potential heritage attractions, only 18% meet some of the visitor readiness criteria and only 5.5% meet most of the visitor readiness criteria. While New Jersey has a large number (1,834) of potential heritage tourism attractions including sites and historic districts, the Task Force’s initial review found an estimated 18% of these sites (333 of the 1,834) meet some of the visitor readiness criteria and only an estimated 5.5% (102 of the 1,834) meet most of the visitor readiness criteria. The large number of heritage sites that are not visitor ready or are only partially visitor ready indicates a tremendous untapped opportunity for heritage tourism development in New Jersey. Current and potential heritage tourism attractions are found in every tourism region and every county in New Jersey. There is a higher concentration of heritage tourism sites in the northeast and north central portions of the state, perhaps because this portion of the state was colonized earlier than other areas. Bergen County had the largest number (261) of current and potential heritage tourism attractions, and other counties such as Essex, Morris, Burlington and Mercer each has 100+ current or potential heritage tourism sites. The tourism region with the highest concentration of heritage sites was Gateway (655) followed by the Delaware River (380) and Skylands (290). The New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force reviewed the inventory data and identified 102 sites that best met the visitor readiness criteria to target for more in-depth study. These sites were invited to participate in a survey in early 2010. 69 responses were secured (a 68% response rate). The New Jersey heritage sites represented in the 69 survey responses welcome 3 million visitors annually thanks to the efforts of an estimated 360 full time equivalent paid staff positions and the contributions of 2,706 volunteers. The New Jersey heritage sites represented in the 69 surveys welcome 3 million visitors annually thanks to the efforts of an estimated 360 full time equivalent paid staff positions and the contributions of 2,706 volunteers. These sites offer a high-value experience for value-conscious travelers in difficult economic times with an average adult admission fee of under $3/person ($2.74). How do New Jersey’s top heritage tourism sites measure up in of terms the “Visitor Ready” criteria of being open the public on regularly scheduled hours, preferably on weekends? Although heritage travelers are most likely to visit on weekends, New Jersey’s heritage sites are more likely to be open on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday than on a Sunday.

Although weekend hours of operation are critical to capture heritage travelers, New Jersey’s heritage sites are more likely to be open on one of several weekdays than on a Sunday. Heritage attractions are most likely to be open on Thursdays (83%), followed by Fridays and Saturdays (both 82%) and then Wednesdays (78%). 72% of the top heritage sites are open on Sundays, though an additional 6% are open for occasional Sundays. Some sites also open for occasional Saturdays (3%). Mondays and Tuesdays tend to the be the day that more heritage sites are closed, with only 53% of New Jersey’s top sites open on Tuesdays and 43% open on Mondays. How do the most visitor ready sites measure up in terms of the “Visitor Ready” criteria of being actively promoted as a tourism attraction? New Jersey’s most visitor ready sites indicated that they do actively promote their sites as heritage tourism attractions. Almost all have a brochure or other printed tourism materials (99%) and a website (96%), and 87% have information included in other tourism publications. Almost all offer some kind of on-site tour or programming (97%) and 72% also offer off-site programming. The majority of these top sites also indicated that they offer services to meet visitor’s needs. Almost all have restaurants within 2 miles of the site (95%) and most (80%) have lodging available within 2 miles of the site. 91% offer public restrooms and 81% of the sites are currently handicapped accessible. 82% of the sites offer on-site parking, and 79% have bus parking available. For those seeking alternative methods of transportation, only 57% of the sites indicate that they are accessible by mass transit, thus indicating that many travelers would need to access sites by car. Less than half (43%) of the sites are currently generating earned income through facility rentals. How do the most visitor ready sites support New Jersey’s six statewide heritage themes? Survey respondents were asked to identify one of the six themes that best exemplified the significance of their site. Every site responding to the survey did indicate one of the six themes as having a connection to their site’s significance, indicating that these six themes do capture the breadth of New Jersey’s most significant heritage stories. In a number of cases, sites identified a different theme than the one anticipated as a response by the New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force. In part, this indicates that heritage sites may fit under more than one theme. The fact that even knowledgeable individuals may have differences of opinion about the most significant themes connected with New Jersey’s heritage sites underscores the importance of having an inter-agency statewide heritage tourism council to work collaboratively with sites to reach agreement on the theme or themes that should be shared and promoted for each of New Jersey’s heritage sites. What else did the survey of visitor ready sites tell us? The state of New Jersey is a critical steward of a number of the state’s most significant and most visited heritage attractions. Well over a third of New Jersey’s most visitor ready heritage tourism attractions (38%) are owned by the state, positioning the state as a critical steward of the state’s most significant and most visited heritage resources. Within the visitor-ready sites surveyed, there were more state owned sites than any other type of site ownership. 22% of the sites surveyed are county owned, 16% are owned by nonprofits, 6% are federally owned and 4% are city or township owned. Based on this survey, what are key areas to target for improvement in visitor readiness?

1. Coordinate hours and day of operation. To maximize attendance and impact, New Jersey’s heritage sites should coordinate hours of operation to ensure that as many sites as possible are

Page 6: New Jersey Heritage Tourism Inventory Analysis Heritage Tourism... · Based on the Task Force review, the final inventory of 1,634 current and potential heritage tourism sites and

Page 6 of 65

open on the days and times when heritage travelers are most likely to visit, which in most cases will be on weekends. Having consistent and predictable hours of operation for the majority of heritage sites within a region makes it much easier for visitors to plan their trips.

2. Focus on improving wayfinding for travel by car. Although heritage sites are very dependent on accessibility by car, 19% do not have any directional signage to help travelers find the sites. Given that this percentage is based on the state’s most visitor ready sites, it is likely that the percentage of heritage sites lacking directional signage is much higher for New Jersey’s heritage sites overall. Enhancing directional signage by implementing New Jersey’s Wayfinding Plan will make New Jersey’s heritage sites much more accessible.

3. Support existing grant programs

For heritage sites that do not fully meet the visitor readiness criteria, a number of existing grant programs (through agencies such as the New Jersey Historic Trust, New Jersey Historical Commission, New Jersey Cultural Trust and the New Jersey Scenic Byways Program offer grants that could assist sites in becoming visitor ready. As these grants are highly competitive it will be essential to maintain and ideally increase the pool of funding available for these critically important grants.

4. Seek alternative sources of income to ensure financial sustainability. Currently fewer than

half (43%) of New Jersey’s heritage tourism sites have facilities available for rent. While this survey did not allow for an in-depth study of the reasons behind this, additional research into expanded earned income strategies such as facility rentals could be one strategy to help New Jersey’s heritage tourism sites become more financially sustainable. Providing assistance to help sites explore their potential for alternative earned income strategies could prove to be a critical survival strategy to help New Jersey’s heritage sites in a tough economy.

The Hidden Cost of Closing California’s State Parks California’s overwhelming state budget crisis led to the Governor’s proposal to close 220 of the state’s 279 state parks. This in turn led to a public outcry about the social and economic impacts of closing these sites. Not only do state parks provide affordable and enjoyable experiences for California’s residents, they are also a key contributor to the state’s tourism economy. A recent Sacramento State survey found that visitors to California’s state parks spend an average of $57.63 per visit ($4.32 billion annually) in direct spending associated with the state. In fact, this study found that for every $1 spent on state parks, $2.35 is returned to the state’s General Fund through local purchases, demonstrating that closing state parks actually ends up costing more than it saves.

As more than half (55%) of the 54 most visitor ready sites that provided information about admission fees indicated that they are currently open free of charge, revenues through a modest admission fee may be another underutilized source of revenue for many of New Jersey’s heritage sites. Considering that more than half (52.5%) of New Jersey’s most visitor ready sites currently operate with 3 or fewer full time employees (and 9% operate with no paid employees), identifying new and diversified sources of income could provide much needed funding to strengthen the visitor experience at New Jersey’s heritage sites as well as creating new jobs.

5. Continue to support state-owned historic sites as models and mentors for heritage tourism in New Jersey. New Jersey’s state-owned historic sites currently provide many of the state’s best visitor ready heritage tourism experiences. It is critical that these experiences continue to be made available to visitors as a core component of the state’s heritage tourism offerings, despite budget cuts that currently threaten several of these state-owned sites.

Analysis of Survey Results for Visitor Ready Heritage Sites The New Jersey Heritage Tourism Task Force reviewed the list of 1,834 current and potential heritage sites and historic districts, identifying 102 sites and historic districts that currently meet most of the three visitor ready criteria. These top 102 sites were invited to participate in an in-depth survey coordinated by Stockton College in early 2010. Stockton College received 69 survey responses that were included in this analysis. Note that the information provided below is based on the responses provided by individuals at these sites, and thus may be subject to individual interpretation of each question. A number of the survey questions had open ended responses. Any assumptions made in the tabulation of the responses to open ended questions are explained below. Marketing and Visitor Services at New Jersey’s Heritage Sites The chart below summarizes responses to a number of yes/no questions in the in-depth survey relating to the ways in which sites were promoted and visitor services offered at heritage sites. Note that the sites invited to participate in the survey represent some of the most visitor ready sites in the state, thus it is anticipated that the levels of visitor readiness for New Jersey’s heritage sites as overall would be considerably lower.

Survey respondents has the opportunity to self identify as a “house,” a “museum,” a “historic district,” or “other.” Multiple responses were allowed, thus the total number of responses is greater than the number of sites responding. For example, 21 responses indicated both a “house” as well as a “museum.” Multiple responses could indicate either that the survey respondent feels that a heritage site fits under more than one category, or that the survey respondent is from an umbrella organization that manages multiple heritage attractions.

Days of the week when New Jersey’s heritage sites are open

The survey included open ended questions about both days and hours of operation. Based on survey responses, a tabulation of days of the week are open was completed. Sites indicating occasional days of operation were noted as such. Sites that did not provide information about days of the week were not included in this count. The survey did not include a question asking if sites were open seasonally, however a number of sites indicated seasonal differences in their hours. Where seasonal differences were reported, the high season hours and days of operation were used in this analysis. In addition to variations based on days and hours per week, the hours of operation provided in survey responses were very individual and site specific. A traveler desiring to visit multiple sites would have to look at each site for hours of operation, check for seasonal hours, be aware of occasional weekend hours, not to mention calculating the time required to tour each site and travel between sites. In short, planning a trip to see multiple heritage sites in New Jersey would require work and advance planning.

The chart below shows the range of budget size amongst the heritage sites responding to the in-depth survey. As this survey sample included the state’s most visitor ready sites, it was not surprising to see that a number of the sites had substantial budgets. However, the responses also indicated that it is possible to have a visitor ready site with an operating budget of almost any size. To better understand how budget differences affect heritage sites, the chart below was created to illustrate the differences between heritage sites based on budget size. Note that as the sample size within each budget category is quite small, the results may not accurately reflect all heritage sites in this budget category. This chart is included to provide a better understanding of the 69 sites that responded to the in-depth survey. Sites that did not provide budget information are not included in this breakdown, thus the information provided under “all budgets” will not reflect all sites responding to the survey. As expected, there is a general trend towards longer hours of operation, higher admission fees, more employees and more volunteers at higher budget levels.

Heritage sites responding to the survey indicated a range of admission fees from $0 to $20 ($19.95). The breakdown of admission fees is illustrated in the chart to the right. More than half (55%) of the sites in this survey do not charge any admission fee, and almost all (98%) have an adult admission fee of $10 or less. A number of sites also reported other lower admission fees for children, seniors or for a group rate.

The chart below looks at the variations by ownership type for variables such as whether or not sites have directional signage, the average hours per week the site is open, the average admission fee, the average number of FTE employees, the average number of volunteers, and the average annual visitation. The responses below provide a better understanding of the sites responding to the survey. Due to the small sample size in each category, the results below should not be interpreted as being typical of all heritage sites in this ownership category. Sites that did not provide information about ownership are not included below, thus the “All Ownership” category does not include all survey responses.

*NOTE: to calculate average number of FTE employees, full-time employees were counted as 1 FTE and any part-time, seasonal or hourly employees were counted as .5 of one FTE, thus this calculation should be taken as an estimate and not an absolute figure. The chart below includes the range (lowest and highest value) for factors such as weekly hours of operation, adult admission fees, number of FTE employees, number of volunteers and annual visitation size.
