Foreword

The ‘Visitation Statistics, 2004/05 Fiscal Year’ report, covering the period April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005, is published annually to supply selected information on provincial parks and recreation areas. This publication provides data on the following aspects of park visitation:

Camping Use Statistics Based on camping permit sales analysis, and / or reasonable estimates of camping use and camper surveys.

Day Use Statistics Collected through Automatic Traffic Counter readings and traffic surveys.

Group Camping Use Statistics Based on group use permit sales analysis.

Fixed Roof Accommodation Use Statistics Kananaskis Country - number of guests reported.

Visitation statistics are reported both at the park and ‘area’ level (i.e., individual campgrounds, day use areas, group use areas, fixed roof accommodation facilities). Statistics are summarized for provincial parks and recreation areas. The data collection systems associated with these visitation statistics are discussed in detail in the Introduction Section.

Ten years of historical statistics for camping, group camping, fixed roof accommodation, and day use are included in this report.

To put the province in perspective, a map depicting management areas, districts and selected sites (see Appendix) is also included. Additional information on provincial parks and provincial recreation areas can be obtained from the following ‘Web Site’ : (www.tpr..ca/parks)

Introduction

This report presents Visitation Statistics for the period of April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2005. It is important to note however, that overnight statistics (i.e., camping, group camping and fixed roof accommodation) and automatic traffic counter readings (required to derive estimates of day use) are only collected for the months of April to October. Where applicable (see note below), adjustments are made to the April - October visitation statistics to represent a fiscal year total. This is part of an on-going process to simplify data requirements and minimize requirements for off-season collection.

NOTE: ‘Inflation factors’ to adjust the April - October period to a fiscal year total, are based on a previous analysis of historical visitation data which had been completed for the fiscal year 2000/01. For purposes of this report, the following information is provided:

 Camping and group camping for the April to October period represents on average, 99% and 95% respectively of the annual total provincial overnight visitation. Therefore reported camping and group camping are assumed to represent the total fiscal year.

 Day use (excluding Kananaskis Country) for the April to October period represents on average, 80% of the annual total provincial day use visitation (variations ranged from 60% to 100% between sites). Therefore reported provincial and historical day use for 2004/05 is adjusted to represent a total fiscal year based on a provincial and site-specific inflation factor(s).

 Kananaskis Country day use for the April to October period represents on average, 60% of the annual total Kananaskis Country day use visitation. Therefore reported Kananaskis Country day use and historical day use for 2004/05 is adjusted to represent a total fiscal year based on a Kananaskis Country and site-specific inflation factor(s).

 Fixed roof accommodation includes overnight stays at William Watson Lodge. Visitation at William Watson Lodge (Kananaskis Country) for the April to October period represents on average, 60% of the annual total visitation to the lodge. Therefore reported visitation for William Watson Lodge for 2004/05 is adjusted to represent a total fiscal year based on a site-specific inflation factor.

Information is presented for selected provincial parks and recreation areas, at both the park level and ‘area’ level (e.g., individual campground statistics for those parks with multiple campgrounds).

Visitation statistics are compiled for 62 of 68 provincial parks and 125 of 250 provincial recreation areas. Provincial parks and recreation areas that have negligible visitation are not included in the statistics collection program. Collection is not practical or cost- effective in these situations. Visitation data is not collected for the province's 3 wilderness areas, 149 natural areas, 16 ecological reserves, Willmore Wilderness Park

Introduction Page | 1

and 28 of the 32 provincial wildland parks because these areas are generally not accessible by vehicle and have minimal use.

Tables summarising statistics for camping use, day use, and group use, are included in this report. Fixed roof accommodation use is included in the provincial visitation statistics table. It is important to note that individual campground statistics do not include overflow camping. This statistic is reported at the park level only. Also, for those parks that have more than one day use area, the Park level day use statistic total discounts for any multiple visitation (i.e., a day use party who visits more than one day use area in the same park).

Visitation data can be further analysed to meet specific information requirements. These queries should be directed to the Section Head, Research Assessment Section. Brief descriptions of the data collection methodologies used for each category of use statistics follow.

Camping Statistics Methodology

Camping statistics are based primarily upon information obtained from camping permits. These permits are issued via two systems:

 The Standard Camping Permit system; and  the Self-Registration Permit (envelope) system.

Standard Camping Permits and associated periodic surveys provide information on occupied campsite nights and average camping party size. This information enables calculation of the number of campers (see Glossary).

Occupied campsite nights are based on the premise that a site is considered occupied when a permit has been issued and that site is occupied by at least one camping accommodation unit.

Self-Registration Permits also provide statistics on occupied campsite nights, and requires periodic surveys to provide data on camping party size.

Backcountry camping statistics are only reported for designated backcountry campgrounds in Kananaskis Country. These statistics are derived through a backcountry reservation service, which includes the issuing of backcountry camping permits. A periodic analysis of the backcountry camping permits provides data on camping party size.

Day Use Statistics Methodology

For the provincial parks and Kananaskis Country, peak season day use statistics are based on figures collected from automatic traffic counters. Adjustments to these counts include determining the ratio of day use vehicles to all other vehicles entering or exiting the park and average party size. It is important to note that the ratio of day use vehicles to all

Introduction Page | 2

other vehicles also discounts for multiple visitations to day use facilities or multiple stops along recreation corridors. Both the ratio of day use to all other vehicles and average party size adjustment factors are obtained through a periodic day use calibration survey.

The survey involves stopping traffic on 20 randomly selected days during the peak season (April - September) to conduct brief interviews. Daily vehicle counts and the survey information are analysed to yield estimates of day use visitation.

When traffic counter readings are not available, the total vehicle counts are supplemented by estimates. This, plus the fact that adjustment factors obtained from past day use calibration surveys are becoming increasingly dated, serves to illustrate the need to interpret the day use data with caution.

The day use methodology for provincial recreation areas adjusts traffic counts for camper traffic (determined from camping permit sales) and estimates of non-recreational vehicles to yield survey information and the estimates of day use visitation. This approach to day use estimation is referred to as the ‘Residual Method’. This approach is also used for estimating off-season day use at the majority of provincial parks, which have not completed an off-season traffic survey. Due to the change in the collection methodologies at provincial recreation areas, no historical day use comparison is provided prior to the implementation of the residual method.

Group Camping Statistics Methodology

Currently the group use permit system collects information pertaining to group camping unit nights, group campers, and occupancy. A survey component of the group use permit provides the average number of people in a group unit, which is required to calculate the number of group campers.

Fixed Roof Accommodation Use Statistics Methodology

‘Occupied room nights’ and ‘number of guests’ are based on actual figures reported for William Watson Lodge. The lodge provides barrier-free accommodation for persons with disabilities and their guests.

Historical Comparison

Tables summarising statistics for camping use, day use, group use, and fixed roof accommodation use, over a ten-year period, are included in this report.

Introduction Page | 3 Visitation Highlights for 2004/05

Nearly 8.1 million people visited provincial parks and recreation areas during the 2004/05 fiscal year. This represents a decrease of 4.9 percent from 2003/04 fiscal year.

It is important to note that for a number of parks and recreation areas, camping, group camping and day use data was either incomplete or not available.

Camping

The total number of campsites in provincial parks and recreation areas in the 2004/05 fiscal year was 13,829. This represents a slight increase over the previous year.

The total number of camping parties decreased 2.5 percent from the 2003/04 fiscal year.

Group Camping

Group camping decreased by 3.5 percent from the 2003/04 fiscal year.

Day Use

Estimated 6.4 million-day use visitors used provincial parks and recreation areas during the 2004/05 fiscal year. This represents a decrease of 5.9 percent from the 2003/04 fiscal year.

Historical Comparison

Between 1995/96 and 2004/05 there was a very modest decrease in the total provincial visitation, averaging ½ percent1. A comparison of these years indicates that there are more years where there was a negative (5 years) percent change in visitor numbers then positive (4 years). However, in reviewing this trend it is important to consider the impact of incomplete or missing data as previously noted. The 10-year mean for provincial visitation was 8.5 million annual visitors with a high of 8.95 million annual visitors occurring in 1996/97.

Final Synopsis

In comparing the fiscal year 2004/05 to 2003/04, the province experienced a decrease in the number of campers, group campers and day visitors. Overall, total visitation to provincial parks and recreation areas decreased slightly.

It is important to note that for several areas, data was either not available or incomplete resulting in an underestimate of the ‘true’ total visitation number by an unknown amount. For the most part, this affected the reported camping and day use visitation.

The information contained in this report is the best available at the time of preparation.
