Title	Customer diversity and the future demand for outdoor recreation.
Creator	Dwyer, John F.
Contributor	Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Fort Collins, Colo.)
Description	The fastest growth in outdoor recreation participation is projected for activities that are popular with older adults, and the slowest growth for those activities popular with younger adults. Nationally, changing age distribution is the main reason for change in participation; but in some areas of the U.S., changing racial and ethnic structure and urban residence are also very important. Cohort component projection models estimate that participants will be older and will include more racial and ethnic minorities, with minorities a substantial portion of increases in participants. Changes in participants will be especially great in areas where there will be sizable growth in the number of racial and ethnic minority individuals and older Americans - such as in and near major cities. Although there is limited information of outdoor recreation participation trends, there is some indication of declining participation rates in some activities, for age and racial and ethnic groups during the 1980s. If these persist, they may slow increases in growth of participation. Outdoor recreation managers may face reduced growth in the number of customers, increased customer diversity, and changing demands for activities, the design of settings and facilities, resource management visitor programs, fees, communication between managers and users, information and marketing, staffing, and training. Research is needed to develop guidelines for plans and programs to meet the needs of customers who are increasingly older, urban, and more racially and ethnically diverse.
