| Tiivistelmä: | This paper evaluates the effect of the change in revenue management policy (namely the increased public land recreation fees) on the number of domestic and international travelers that visit large, mostly well-known US National Park System sites. Baseline, multivariate demand models were developed based on secondary data from 10 years prior to the fee policy change, and were used to predict demand in years following the fee change. The authors then compared the predictions of the baseline model to the sites' actual visitation. The differences between the actual and the predicted visitation are statistically significant, suggesting that the change in the federal agencies' revenue management policy might have had an adverse impact on the visitation of the largest US national sites. |
