• Description:
  This report summarizes the results of a research project to determine the role of resource scarcity, if any, in influencing tourism to Florida. The project was designed to test the hypothesis that selected natural resources supply constraints (e.g., saltwater fisheries and beaches) in Florida's coastal zone will moderate the projected growth in tourism. Based primarily on an analysis of a time series of tourist arrivals and an extensive field survey, the report evaluates current uses of these resources and identifies levels of use at which tourists would begin to consider seeking a vacation destination other than Florida.
