by Dhungana, P., and Khanal, A. R. (2023). Front. Environ. Econ. 2:1219245. doi: 10.3389/frevc.2023.1219245
In the published article, there was an error in the Table 2 caption text as published. The corrected Table 2 caption text appears below.
“Table 2. IMPLAN sectors, total visitor spending calculations using Equation 8, and allotted to each sector category by the assumed percentages.”
In the published article, there were errors in the following sections of the article: Abstract, and Conclusion.
A correction has been made to the Abstract, Result and Discussion. The sentence previously stated:
“We found that an estimated $65 million from visitors' direct spending in agritourism farms contributes to the total industry output of $118.54 million in Tennessee.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Our results, based on calculated visitor numbers and spendings assumed and the use of IMPLAN models, show that agritourism and related farm contributions could have total outputs of $118.54 million in Tennessee.”
A correction has been made to the Conclusion, third paragraph. The sentence previously stated:
“Our estimation suggests that total direct visitor spending in Tennessee agritourism farms is around $65 million. This $65 million generates a total industry outputs of $118.54 million,….”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Our estimation based on calculations of visitor numbers and spendings assumed and the use of IMPLAN models show the total industry output of 118.54 million,….”
In the Conclusion, final paragraph, a sentence should be added, so that the text reads:
“Finally, we acknowledge some limitations and suggestions for future studies. Our estimations on visitor numbers and their average spending are calculations based on the formula we presented in projecting numbers with assumptions, may have limitations due to small sample biases or overestimations. A few limitations that are inherent in IMPLAN's industry- and sector-level classification data and modeling system are beyond the scope of this study.”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the overall scientific conclusions of the article. The original article has been updated.
