Abstract

This study examines the effect of weather on outdoor recreation and specifically leisure farms in Taiwan. We find that temperature has a complex effect on visits, revenues, and occupancy rates. Cool temperatures are the least desirable, very cold temperatures and warm temperatures are the most beneficial, and hot temperatures are less beneficial. Sites designed for winter activities benefit the most from cold temperatures whereas sites designed for walking and boating do best in warm temperatures. Global warming is likely to harm the sites suited for winter activities but should prolong the outdoor season for most leisure farms in Taiwan. But leisure farms may want to find ways to cope with hot temperatures.
