45 Secondary Data
46 Needed Research! Understand how non-motorized bike/ped trail use by visitors and local residents contributes to the goals of North Carolina communities Studies exist that link trails to public health outcomes (focuses on residents) Studies exist that link trails to economic development (focuses on property values, business attraction, tourism)
47 Needed Research! Trail users general demographic information, (providing a profile of current trail visitor and resident trail users), Trail use (how often, long, and intensity the trail is used), satisfaction with the trail experience, Perceived infrastructure gaps (what resources are needed to increase frequency, duration, and intensity of use), Spending patterns associated with trail use, Perceptions of access, safety, and other key trail resources that would further encourage behavior that meets community goals This information will determine how trails contribute to the economic and physical health of communities in North Carolina as well as what critical elements are yet needed when developing trails.
48 What is Sustainable Tourism?
49 Independent note on a questionnaire I think tourism is like seasoning on food. Some can make an improvement, a little more can make it perfect. A lot ruins it and makes a good thing disgusting.
