The purpose of this report is to provide background information related to potential economic impacts associated with various visitor use management (VUM) scenarios at Arches National Park (ARCH). In preparing this document, information and data related to both State of Utah and local community taxable sales between 2010 and 2022 was examined as well as ARCH visitation between 2010 and 2022. Comparisons were made between ARCH visitation and other parks and park groupings. Further, trends in taxable sales in the gateway community of Moab, UT were compared with visitation trends in ARCH as a whole. Additionally, data and results from ARCH-specific and southern Utah-specific surveys and research were examined to supplement existing detailed tax and visitation data.
