This grant from the Park Economic Impact Division is for the purpose of updating the system-wide estimates of the economic impacts of national parks on local economies for Fiscal Year 2011. The project involves a thorough revision of the Money Generation Model 2 (MGM2) by updating its spending profiles and multipliers. The primary objective is to accurately estimate both direct and secondary economic impacts resulting from visitor spending and park payrolls across all national parks. This will be achieved by leveraging comprehensive recreation visit and payroll data collected in Fiscal Year 2010, ensuring a robust and current assessment of the parks’ economic contributions.
