Analysis

Small Business Perspective

The Outdoor Recreation section shows no specific consideration for small businesses under 20 employees, except for a possible indirect benefit to small tourism-related businesses. However, there is no mention of programs or support specifically targeted at small businesses in this sector. While this could potentially benefit small businesses in the outdoor recreation sector, such as local tour operators, equipment rental shops, or guides, there is no specific mention or focus on how these small businesses contribute to or could be supported in enhancing the state's outdoor recreation offerings. To truly support all businesses, the guide could have highlighted the role of small, local businesses in creating unique outdoor experiences for visitors, preserving natural areas, or providing personalized services that contribute to the state's appeal as an outdoor recreation destination.

Big Business Perspective

While this section may indirectly benefit some small businesses, it likely focuses on attracting large outdoor recreation companies and promoting Idaho as a destination for major tourism operators.
