Summit Economics, LLC

This study, completed for Grand County and the Headwaters Trails Alliance, was commissioned in order to assess the economic and fiscal impacts of outdoor recreation tourism within Grand County and to review the economic and fiscal impacts, overall, of outdoor recreation assets on the county. This work built upon previous efforts to better understanding of tourist behavior, spending, and impact undertaken through the Grand Profile. Summit Economics was able to analyze the information collected by the Grand Profile1 , add accurate estimates of visitation and tourist behavior in Grand County, and deepen and augment the conclusions through extensive secondary research.
