Went to visit Grant St. at around 2:00PM on Thursday. I picked up a few brochures along the way from SW, a hotel located on Broadway St. I wasn't exactly sure what to find during my walk but I took as many pictures as I could.
As I closely observed the people around me, I can easily distinguish between visitors, tourists, and locals. Obviously, the similar groups dress alike. Tourists carry cameras, travel packs, wears "I love SF" shirts, and rides Gray Line Tour Buses. Locals carry practically nothing; maybe a coffee or tapioca, an Asian dessert drink. I also took notice that many tourists traveling in groups tend to stop in open areas to look at their SF maps. (BINGO!)
Spoke with my Panel of Expert on Friday to see if there was any other hint or tips to easily tackle this research. I was told to look at books on tourism to see is effective and not. Looks like that's my next step.
