The Outdoor Recreation Council of BC has released a new comprehensive guide and toolkit designed to help local governments, First Nations and recreation groups gather, analyze and apply data on recreational users and visitors.
The guide helps smaller organizations conduct visitor research using a do-it-yourself approach. It provides guidance, templates, equations, examples, and resources. It also explains how to analyze results to estimate economic impact, communicate community and economic benefits, and inform management and planning.
Developed in collaboration with The Harbinger Consultancy, this resource supports strategic decision-making, strengthens advocacy, and fosters long-term success in outdoor recreation initiatives.
