Computer-Assisted Promotion of Recreational Opportunities in Natural Resource Areas: A Demonstration and Case Example

Abstract

Filevision IV is a multilayer imaging and data-base management system that combines drawing, filing and extensive report-writing capabilities (Filevision IV, 1988). Filevision IV users access data by attaching graphics to text-oriented data-base records. Tourist attractions, support services, and geo-graphic features can be located on a base map of an area or region. Record-keeping and customized responses to visitors' inquiries are accomplished with powerful report generating and mail merge capabilities. These features provide the agency with a cost-effective tool to interpret the recreational opportunities in natural resource and surrounding areas to potential visitors and tour brokers.
