In Travel Oregon, the Oregon Office of Outdoor Recreation (OREC), and Oregon Department of Fish and 2017, the Outdoor Industry Association estimated that $16.4 billion was spent on outdoor recreation trips and gear Wildlife (ODFW) came together to commission a study on the impacts of the outdoor recreation economy. purchases in Oregon, an estimate slightly higher than the one presented here. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that spending on outdoor recreation in Oregon in 2019 contributed $7.2 billion to Oregon’s GDP and The study found that in 2019, outdoor recreation in Oregon supported $15.6 billion in spending. supported 88,000 jobs. While these estimates vary from the findings of this analysis, it is important to understand Consumer spending on outdoor recreation supports businesses and jobs throughout the state, and then that the BEA analysis does not consider local recreation in their analysis, making the results more comparable to the ripples throughout Oregon’s economy as business income and wages are re-spent, causing economic visitor expenditure estimate presented earlier. effects in sectors not directly tied to outdoor recreation.
