A survey finds that an overwhelming majority of tourists who travel to Cody also visit Yellowstone National Park and favor motel rooms instead of camping.
The Cody visitors travel mostly by motor vehicle, tend to shop in Cody, stay an average of one to two nights and rate the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center and Cody Nite Rodeo as the best local attractions besides Yellowstone.
Park County Travel Council marketing director Claudia Wade tells the Cody Enterprise (http://bit.ly/zJkh9t) that the survey indicates people are using Cody for more than just a gas stop and a meal break on their way to Yellowstone.
The survey was conducted among people who had made online inquiries about possibly traveling to Cody.
