Regional Demand and Supply Projections for Outdoor Recreation

摘要

The Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 (RPA), requiresthe USDA Forest Service to conduct an assessment of national level economic trends in renewable resources, including outdoor recreation, every 10 years. The study, an issue analysis for the 1993 Update of the 1989 RPA Assessment, was designed to provide regionally disaggregated descriptions and projections of possible future recreation consumption and of the supply of recreation opportunities. The four regions of interest were the same as those defined for the 1989 RPA Assessment: North, Pacific Coast, Rocky Mountains and Great Plains, and South.
