The course introduces the student to a variety of quantitative techniques used in the analysis of recreation and tourism, especially in the context of policy analysis, planning, and marketing. Techniques relevant to both (1) the perceptions and behaviour of recreationists and tourists and (2) the distribution of resources are examined. Specific topics may vary from term to term, but generally include operational definitions, measurement errors, scale developments, simple decisionmaking models, market segmentation, geostatistics and other regional-descriptive methods, and basic forecasting techniques.
