The purpose of this study is to document the local economic impacts of Grand Canyon National Park (GRCA) visitor spending in 2003. Economic impacts are measured as the direct and secondary sales, income, jobs, and value added in the local area resulting from spending by park visitors in the region. The local region is defined to encompass Coconino county, Arizona, including gateway communities of Tusayan, Williams, Flagstaff and Cameron on the South Rim and Jacob Lake, Kanab, and Fredonia on the North Rim. The economic estimates are produced using the Money Generation Model 2 (MGM2) (Stynes and Propst, 2000).
