Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: Demand for outdoor recreation is expanding rapidly. Much of this demand can be satisfied by the establishment of recreational facilities on private land. This report summarizes data obtained from studies on recreational enterprises in 6 areas of the United States (Arkansas, Missouri, New England, Ohio, Oregon, and South Carolina), which were made to determine their financial success and to identify the characteristics of users. Demand is classified by length of stay: (1) 1 day, (2) weekend, and, (3) weekly or monthly. The length of stay and the composition of the visiting party govern the services desired. The demand for different kinds of recreation may change rapidly and make many facilities obsolete in a short time. However, demand for a particular type of recreation often does not develop until facilities and services are provided and advertised. Thus, developers must anticipate demand when they develop the facility. Also, the individual operator must attract visitors to use his facilities.
