  • Identifying the Recreational Value of Reserves

    Identifying the Recreational Value of Reserves

    Identifying the Recreational Value of Reserves NEFA BACKGROUND PAPER Identifying the Recreational Value of Reserves Prepared by: Dailan Pugh, 2014 National parks and reserves provide a range of economic values to society including those associated with recreation and conservation. Visitation to, and management of protected areas, also provides stimulation to regional economies from the associated expenditures that occur within the region. Tourism is the most rapidly expanding sector of the regional economy. The long-term economic value of national parks for recreation will often outweigh any short-term economic return from logging, mining and/or grazing. Public land is a highly valued resource, providing the only natural areas for recreation for many residents. The Centre for Coastal Management (1993) note “as indicated by the recreationalist survey … the most significant source of recreational forest visitation comes from the residents of the local government area”. Roy Morgan Research Ltd (2011) undertook a series of telephone surveys to identify visitation to NSW national parks and reserves, estimating 38,057,162 visitors in 2008 and 34,607,247 visitors in 2010 (with the drop considered to be due to extreme weather and overseas travel). Around 12% of people had visited a park in the last 4 weeks. Primary activities in 2010 were walking (50%), water-based activities (18%), picnicking and dining (16%) and touring and sightseeing (10%). Buultjens et. al. (1998) considered that: The natural environment is perceived to be the one of the most important tourist attractions for Australia, and in particular of the north east NSW region. Forested areas represent a significant proportion of tourism and recreational attractions in natural environments (Commonwealth Department of Tourism, 1994; Northern Rivers Regional Development Board, 1994).
