| Abstract: | This paper examines how climate change may influence park tourism in the Rocky Mountain region by focusing both the direct and indirect impacts of climate change for visitation to Waterton Lakes National Park (WLNP). (Alberta, Canada). A statistical model of monthly visitation and climate was developed to examine the direct impact of climate change on visitation. To explore how climate-induced environmental change could also indirectly affect visitation, a visitor survey was used (N=425). A contrasting result of the two analyses for the longer-term impact of climate change was a key finding. |
