Boating Economic Impact Model
www.marinaeconomics.com
This system of web-based models allows users to
estimate boater spending and the associated economic impacts in
terms of jobs, sales, income, and value added associated with the
ownership (e.g., craft spending) and use (e.g., trip spending) of
different sizes and types of recreational boats. Economic impacts
may be estimated for a marina, groups of marinas (eg, in a harbor),
a boat access/ launch site, or for all registered power boats and
sail boats in a designated region. |
