<br /> <br />ii' <br /> <br />o <br />(.-) <br />':.~) <br />00 <br />..... <br />~ <br /> <br />SUMMARY <br /> <br />Planning Considerations <br /> <br />Socioeaonomic <br />Aspeats <br /> <br />Projected annual expenditures by out- <br />door recreationistsin the region are est- <br />imated to more than double between 1965 <br />and 2020, from about $95 million to over <br />$240 million. <br /> <br />In order to provide the necessary <br />opportunities for outdoor recreation, new <br />methods of funding will be needed, espe- <br />cially since the bulk of projected demand <br />will be by nonresidents. <br /> <br />Programs to meet all projected rec- <br />reation needs would cost about $55 million <br />per year. Of this amount $855,000 will be <br />required for operation, maintenance and <br />replacement. <br /> <br />TribaZ Lands <br /> <br />While reservation lands have good <br />potential for recreation development, <br />competition with non-Indian public rec- <br />reation lands that are tax-supported is <br />difficult and often impossible. In order <br />to spread their own limited capital far- <br />ther, most tribes must seek technical <br />advice and financial assistance from <br />government agencies to develop feasible <br />recreation enterprises. <br /> <br />Private DeveZopments <br /> <br />Due to the nature of the region, the <br />greatest opportunity for private sector <br />recreation development will be in the ser- <br />vice industry. Private outdoor recreation <br />enterprises might be made more profitable <br />by extending the recreation season through <br />multiple use management practices and by <br />providing additional types of recreation <br />opportunities to augment present uses. <br />Franchise agreements might also be nego- <br />tiated with the private sector to provide <br />support services at public recreation areas. <br /> <br />iii <br /> <br />
