Abstract

The purpose of this review was to examine volume segmentation within three selected outdoor recreational activities -- swimming, hunting and downhill skiing over an eight-year period, from 1982 through 1989 at the national level and within the Northeast Region of the U.S.; and to determine if trend patterns existed within any of these activities when the market size and market volume of infrequent and frequent segments were examined. Different trends exist between national and Northeast Regional trends when volume segmentation was examined. Implications and discussion points were provided.
