National Park Visitor Spending and Payroll Impacts: 2008
Stynes DJ. 2009. National Park Visitor Spending and Payroll Impacts: 2008. Michigan State University: Department of Community, Agriculture, Recreation and Resource Studies. East Lansing, Michigan
This report provides updated estimates of NPS visitor spending for 2008 and estimates the economic impacts of visitor spending and the NPS payroll on local economies. Visitor spending and impacts are estimated using the MGM2 model (Stynes et. al., 2000) based on calendar year 2008 park visits, spending averages from park visitor surveys, and local area economic multipliers. Impacts of the NPS payroll are estimated based on fiscal year 2008 payroll data for each park.
