Abstract

A computerized method for gathering market area information from campground permits has been developed. Point-of-origin and length-of-stay of campground users can be estimated and summarized quickly and inexpensively. The method should be equally useful for public as well as private campgrounds-provided basic registration data are available and can be processed according to theprescribed format.
