This National Park Service (NPS) funded project leverages a Geographic Information System (GIS) to visualize tourism and visitor-use trends, analyzing their economic contributions to New Mexico’s outdoor recreation sector. It represents a crucial initial step for the NPS and the State to understand visitor dynamics. The resulting information will empower the NPS to determine which park units can accommodate increased visitation and identify those approaching or at capacity. This vital data will inform visitor use management strategies, helping parks answer key questions and implement better visitor planning. The grant aims to optimize recreational access while ensuring the sustainability of New Mexico’s natural resources.
