Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine activity markets within three major geographic areas in the Northeast for the period of 1994-1996. The activity markets examined included travel activities; recreation/sport activities; outdoor activities; interest in fitness activities and cultural/historic interests. The geographic markets of each activity group were examined by primary, secondary and tertiary markets of Central New England. Findings here indicated that the activity markets with potential to travel to New England show signs of growing; however, there exists considerable variation between the different geographic areas.
