Background Measurement of visitation to the WTWHA extends far beyond the estimation of visitor numbers. The collection of basic visitor numbers provides baseline information only. Further visitor specific information is required to provide managers with an understanding of patterns of visitor use, behaviour, perceptions, attitudes, expectations and satisfaction. A comprehensive understanding of these visitor aspects is critical to effective visitor management including minimisation of biophysical impacts and maximising benefits to the land manager, visitor and community.
