In today's increasingly complex society, it is important to be able to discover and clearly express the economic value of things, even such things as human experiences that benefit society as a whole. This report focuses on final demand, employment, income and tax revenue effects recreational visitors to refuges have on the economies of local regions. In addition to the economic effects of refuge hunting and fishing programs in local communities, it measures the economic impact of \"ecotourism,\" the relatively recent phenomenon of 1arge numbers of people traveling substantial distances to take part in non-consumptive uses of the natural environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Caudill Ph.
