Outdoor recreation is bigger than you think and a significant economic driver not only in advanced economies but in the developing world where eco-tourism may contribute significantly to the national income.
Outdoor recreation is an overlooked Economic Giant –it is a larger and more critical sector of the Australian economy than most people realize. It is a multi-dimensional sector, injecting billions of dollars in direct spending into the Australian economy and stimulating the traditional economic sectors of manufacturing, tourism, hospitality, travel, finance and retail industries.
However, the central figure in the outdoor recreation economy is YOU, the outdoor consumer. Your diverse interests stimulate and feed this creative, rigorous and robust industry, which is a vital part of the Australian economy.
