THE CONCEPTUAL LINKS BETWEEN RECREATION SITE DEVELOPMENT AND REGIONAL ECONOMIC IMPACTS*
探讨了休闲旅行如何通过家庭购买旅行投入品（如特定旅行用品和耐用休闲设备）来影响区域经济增长，并分析了场所的成本效应、价格信息效应以及集聚效应如何改变家庭休闲消费，最终产生区域经济影响。
ABSTRACT. Assessing regional economic impacts of recreation trips is important to public agencies' decisions about using recreation as a rural development tool. Minimizing the total cost of recreation trip production implies that households will spatially distribute their purchases of inputs to trip production, including both trip‐specific inputs and durable recreation equipment. A recreation site contributes to a region's economic growth through household purchases of trip inputs. The site's cost effects, price information effects, and recreation and retail agglomeration effects cause changes in household recreation purchases and ultimately generate regional economic impacts.
