| 摘要： | Shared use paths and trails are important for communities in numerous ways. First, they provide for non-motorized transportation routes for commuting and other travel. Second, they provide for active recreational opportunities that improve quality of life and promote healthy activities. Finally, of particular interest in this report, paths and trails attract visitors and contribute to the economy of a community. Tourism in Vermont has an important impact on the states economy. As a major source of state income, tourism helps to generate revenue from retail sales, accommodations, restaurants and supports jobs in tourism-related businesses. Tourists from out-of-state and even out-of-country come to Vermont to enjoy its nature settings, recreation amenities, and other attractions. In addition to ski resorts and hiking paths, shared use paths in Vermont, especially the Waterfront Trail along Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont, attract tourists. In this study, we estimate the economic activity associated with visitors using the Waterfront Trail in Burlington and also on the Island Line in Colchester where the trail follows a causeway into Lake Champlain to a cut where ferry service is provided at limited times during the summer season by Local Motion. |
