Jacobi C. 2012. Visitor satisfaction and visitor understanding of the significance of Acadia National Park: 2012: Meeting the requirements of the government performance and results act. Acadia National Park Natural Resources Report Number 2012 - 5. National Park Service

From Official Introduction: “In 2012, the National Park Service (NPS) measured visitor satisfaction and visitor understanding of the significance of Acadia National Park through a brief survey card administered to a representative sample of visitors. The NPS had identified satisfaction and understanding of significance as two important servicewide goals to satisfy the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). In this report, data from the Visitor Survey Card Data Report (see Appendix 1) prepared by the University of Idaho Cooperative Park Studies Unit will be reviewed briefly. The Idaho report presents the results of very general visitor evaluations of park facilities, services, and recreational opportunities. We also present and analyze the results for the open-ended part of the survey card that asks visitors to tell why Acadia is significant and to give any other comments they wish.”
