Indiana Dunes local tourist boost

USA Today reports on the boost in tourism at the Indiana Dunes because more locals have opted to do "staycations."

Staycations, where you stay at home to vacation, became popular during the 2009 recession as a way to save money but still have the mentality of being on vacation.
Indiana Dunes is crediting a wave of "staycations" and improvements to the park for a record number of visitors in 2009.

A total of 1.1 million people visited the park last year, marking a 64% increase over 2005. That, in turn, boosted revenue by more than $1 million.
