Abstract

Information technology is here. How we as natural resource providers, researchers and users decide to use it responsibly is up to us. This study presents the facts of information technology and how to use this technology to develop connections between individuals, natural resources, and recreation. Three categories that were explored are (a) an overview of information technology and recreation and tourism, (b) National Park Service interpretation programs, and (c) computer-based learning and education programs.
