National Park Visitor Spending and Payroll Impacts: 2007

Stynes DJ. 2008. National Park Visitor Spending and Payroll Impacts: 2007. Michigan State University: Department of Community, Agriculture, Recreation and Resource Studies. East Lansing, Michigan

This report provides updated estimates of NPS visitor spending for 2007 and estimates the economic impacts of visitor spending and the NPS payroll on local economies. Visitor spending and impacts were estimated using the MGM2 model (Stynes et al., 2000) based on calendar year 2007 park visits, spending averages from park visitor surveys, and local area economic multipliers. Impacts of the NPS payroll were estimated based on fiscal year 2007 payroll data for each park.
