US Bureau reports economic output of outdoor recreation at $386 billion

9/25/2019

 
BCHA Sept. 25, 2019 Press Release: "Outdoor Recreation Significant Economic Driver." The US Bureau of Economic Analysis states in this report, “In terms of gross economic output, boating/fishing, RV'ing, motorcycling/ATV'ing, hunting/shooting/trapping, and equestrian sports are the five largest conventional outdoor recreation activities.” Equestrian sports financial contribution is just behind hunting/fishing and is greater than hiking, climbing, and biking combined.  For example:

Bicycle contribution: $2,091,000,000
($3.8 billion gross output)
Climbing/Hiking/Tent Camping: $3,266,000,000
($6 billion gross output)
Equestrian contribution: $6,139,000,000
($13.4 billion gross output, $7.8 billion nominal)
Hunting/Shooting/Trapping: $6,938,000,000
($14.1 billion gross output, $8.8 billion nominal)

Public agencies care that public lands and recreation bring economic benefit to the areas they serve. Bring this information with you when you are asking for amenities, more trail maintenance, more Rangers, etc. We trail users are much larger economic drivers that normally perceived!
