Abstract:

This data publication contains tabular data describing a visitor use assessment administered January 2023 through April 2023 in the Everglades National Park in Florida. A visitor survey was used to spatially quantify visitor flows and components of the visitor experience. The visitor survey included questions about trip characteristics, respondents’ demographics, activity type, environmental and social perceptions, and opinions regarding policy and management issues. The study also explored factors related to users’ level of place attachment and activity involvement theories.
