A boating choice model for the valuation of lake access.

From: Journal of Leisure Research | Date: June 22, 1995| Author: | Copyright information

This study reports results from the applications of a discrete choice method to alternative choice processes individuals go through and the factors that are considered when making boating decisions. The discrete choice or random utility model for studying outdoor recreation demand is described. Using a random household-based sample of registered boat owners living in the region surrounding the Catawba River Basin in North Carolina, we test our assumptions about the sequences of boating choice decisions that are made by individuals. We begin with a boating activity and destination lake choice ...
