Impacts of Visitor Spending on the Local Economy, Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial, 2012
Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial hosted 133,550 recreation visits in 2012. Adjustments for visitor group size and re-entries resulted in 37,571 visitor group trips to the park in 2012. Based on a 2012 Visitor Services Project survey conducted June 19-25, 50% of these visitor group trips were made by local residents or non-locals on day trips, not including an overnight stay within 60 miles of the park. Twenty-three percent of visitor group trips involved an overnight stay in a lodge, hotel, motel, cabin, B&B, etc. in the local area, and 14% were overnight camping stays in the local area. Thirteen percent of visitor group trips were overnight stays in non-paid lodging, such as private homes. Visitors reported their groups expenditures in the park and within 60 miles of the park. After excluding cases considered to be outliers based on unusually large group sizes, long stays in the area, or extreme expenditures, visitor groups spent an average of $156 in the park and local area. These conservative assumptions about outliers likely result in conservative estimates of economic impacts.
