The Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research (ITRR) was established in 1987 to conduct research on travel, recreation, and tourism. Located in the University of Montana, W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation, ITRR serves as the research arm for Montana’s tourism and recreation industry.
Two general sources fund the Institute’s research. A portion of the state Lodging Facility Use Tax revenues supports studies of statewide significance. More specialized studies of interest to particular regions, counties, agencies, or businesses are funded through cooperative agreements, grants, or contracts. ITRR offers research assistantships to graduate students enrolled in the Society and Conservation Department at UM’s W.A. Franke College of Forestry and Conservation.
