In 2018: 1.8 million park visitors spent an estimated $77.9 million. Generated/Supported: 937 jobs, $40.1 million in labor income, $68.0 million in value added, and $106 million in economic output in local economies
Four types of regional economic effects: • Jobs measure annualized full and part time jobs that are supported by NPS visitor spending. • Labor Income includes employee wages, salaries and payroll benefits, as well as the incomes of sole proprietors that are supported by NPS visitor spending. • Value Added measures the contribution of NPS visitor spending to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a regional economy. Value added is equal to the difference between the amount an industry sells a product for and the production cost of the product. • Economic Output is a measure of the total estimated value of the production of goods and services supported by NPS visitor spending. Economic output is the sum of all intermediate sales (business to business) and final demand (sales to consumers and exports).
Regional Multipliers: Total Sales: 1.6449 Total Jobs: 1.0670 Total Earnings: 1.5633 In 2018, each visitor contributed approximately $60.30 GRP. (1,756,080 recreational visitors, $105.893M GRP) 2019 estimates: 21.5% increase in visitors over 2018. GRP contribution is estimated to be $128,659,995! Estimating 1138 jobs!
