Summar y
Business and visitor-survey data provide a basis for estimating th e
dollar value of sales made to visitors by individual businesses and firm s
of the Lower Umpqua River area and the dollar value of sales to visitor s
who are attracted to the area by public investments in port and harbo r
facilities by the U .S . Army Corps of Engineers and by county and stat e
parks . The dollar value of these sales to visitors is referred to a s
the direct economic impact of visitors . The latter impact estimate in
association with an input-output model of Douglas County provides a basi s
for estimating the economic impact on the Douglas County economy of visito r
expenditures attributed to these investments . Impact estimates are limite d
to those resulting from visitor expenditures . Those estimates are only a
part of the impact resulting from the investments since water transportation and commercial fishing impacts are not included . Neither are impact s
from the construction, operation, and maintenance of these facilitie s
included . Public investments of particular concern in this study includ e
a boat turning basin and small boat moorages at Salmon Harbor, a rive r
channel to Reedsport with side channels serving Salmon Harbor at Wincheste r
Bay, Scholfield Creak in Reedsport, and Gardiner, entrance jetties an d
channel at the Umpqua River mouth, Windy Cove County Park, Umpqua Light house State Park, and Ziolkowski Beach . It was concluded that recreatio n
and tourism is an important basic industry of the Lower Umpqua River area .
Approximately 32 percent of the gross sales of the area's recreation related
businesses were derived from visitors who include both tourists and recreationalists . Approximately 52 percent of the 254 individual businesses and firm s
located in the Lower Umpqua River area reported significant sales to visitor s
during 1972 . Total visitor expenditures during the year were estimated a t
about $6 .7 million . Grocery stores, automotive sales and service, and gasoline service stations were major recipients of visitor expenditures . They
directly received about $4 .9 million, or 73 percent of the area's tota l
visitor expenditure .
Visitor survey data revealed that there are major differences in total
expenditures and expenditure patterns of the area's fishermen and nonfishermen
visitors . Fishermen spend about $8 .00 in the area per-visitor-day as contrasted to a nonfisherman's expenditure of about $4 .60 per-visitor-day .
Fishermen also remained in the area longer than nonfishermen ; 3 .72 days
per visit versus only 1 .11 days per visit . Nonfishermen spend more money
for overnight accommodations in the motel and hotel sector than they do i n
the trailer park and campgrounds sector while the converse was true o f
fishermen . Fishermen patronize cafes and taverns, charter operations ,
grocery stores, and sporting goods and tackle shops to a greater exten t
than do nonfishermen, while nonfishermen patronize fish processin g
(primarily to purchase fresh or processed fish), clothing and departmen t
stores, and miscellaneous retail stores to a greater extant than do fisher men . Both spend about the same amount of money in the service station
sector .
Approximately 28 percent of the area's total visitor sales, or $1 . 9
million, was identified as being attributed to public investments in th e
area for small boat facilities and for county and state parks . Thi s
estimate is considered an approximate measure of the amount of visito r
expenditure which would be lost to the study area if these public investments had not been made .
The economic impact on the Douglas County economy of visitor expenditures attributable to public investments in the Lower Umpqua River are a
for small boat facilities and for county and state parks is estimate d
at $5 .4 million annually . These impacts accrue, but not equally, to mos t
businesses of the county economy . The activities most affected includ e
retail and wholesale trade, retail services and organizations, households ,
service stations, and automotive sales and services . Probably one of th e
most important impacts occur in households where approximately $570,000 o f
gross wages and salaries are directly attributable to small-boat facilitie s
and county and state park investments in the Lower Umpqua River area .
Introductio n
One of the more popular recreational areas in Oregon is the Lowe r
Umpqua River region . The area is depicted in Figure 1 . The region offer s
a variety of recreational opportunities during all seasons includin g
fishing, camping, picnicking, beachcombing, boating and sightseeing .
The primary recreation resource of the region is fishing . Every day
of the year at least one type, and more often several types, of fishin g
can be pursued . Offshore fishing for chinook and silver (Coho) salmon i s
the most popular of the fishing activities . Salmon Harbor at Winchester
Bay is the focal point of that activity . Peak seasons for some of the
more important fisheries in the area are illustrated in Figure 2 . Crabs ,
clams, and other species of sea life also are abundant in the area an d
supplement the fisheries for additional sport activities .
Camping and picnicking activities also are fundamental to the area .
Windy Cove Park, a Douglas County park adjacent to Salmon Harbor, is the
most widely used public park in the area primarily because of its proximit y
to the harbor and the offshore salmon angling . The park has 25 picnic and
70 camping units . Camping and picnicking facilities are also available a t
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park and Umpqua Wayside . Umpqua Wayside has 4
picnic sites . The state park has 36 picnic and 63 camping units . I n
addition to these public overnight facilities, several private overnight
trailer parks are located in the area with a total of about 50 short-ter m
camping spaces .
The area's ocean beach also provides recreational activity . Beac h
access is available at Ziolkowski Beach south of the Umpqua River . The
north beach area, as part of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area ,
presently has only a limited public access . Modes of access into th e
area include boat, dune buggy, and hiking .
The development of this popular recreational area is attributed t o
many factors such as year-around fisheries, proximity to Oregon Dunes ,

proximity and access to Willamette Valley and southern Oregon populatio n
centers, location on U .S . Route 101, its natural scenic qualities, an d
the abundance of public facilities which directly or indirectly suppor t
recreational activities . It is generally believed that this recreational
area's popularity and economic activity is in part attributable to thes e
public investments .
Study Objective s
The objectives of the study are to :
(1)
Estimate the dollar value of sales made to visitor s
by individual businesses and firms of the Lower Umpqu a
River area . The value of these sales to visitors is
referred to as the direct economic impact of visitors .
(2)
Determine selected characteristics and expenditur e
patterns of the area's visitors who include both tourist s
and recreationalists .
(3)
Estimate the direct economic impact, via the expenditur e
of visitors, attributable to public investments fo r
small boat facilities and for county and state park s
in the Lower Umpqua River area .
(4) Derive from the direct economic impact estimate of
objective 3, the magnitude and distribution of the
impact on the economy of Douglas County .
Public investments of particular concern in this study include
a
boat turning basin and small boat moorages at Salmon Harbor, a river
channel to Reedsport with side channels serving Salmon Harbor at Wincheste r
Bay, Scholfield Creek in Reedsport, and Gardiner, entrance jetties and
channel at the Umpqua River mouth, Windy Cove County Park, Umpqua Lighthous e
State Park, and Ziolkowski Beach .
Study Procedure
Business survey data were used to estimate the dollar value of sale s
made to visitors by individual businesses and firms in the Lower Umpqu a
River area . Visitors were individuals not identified by the business operation as a resident of the study area .
The ideal was to identify the impact of non-resident tourist and recreationist expenditures in the Lower Umpqua River area and subsequently i n
Douglas County . This identification would permit estimation of business generated by tourists and recreationists, similar to estimates of business genera ted by timber, agriculture, commercial fishing, etc . However, the ability o f
the business community to accurately distinguish between resident and non resident customers is questionable . For example, some individuals clearl y
can be identified by service station operators as being from outside the are a
as out-of-state licenses are a good indicator . Individuals with Oregon license s
would be more difficult to identify, and the occasional resident custome r
could be mis-identified as a non-resident tourist or recreationist . Other businesses would have even more difficulty identifying non-resident tourists an d
recreationists . Because of this identification problem a less rigorou s
criterion of area visitors was accepted . That is, the visitor could be a
resident of the study area but not identified by the business as an are a
resident . This creates some overestimation of non-resident tourist an d
recreation expenditure ; but the loss of accuracy seemed justified to begi n
acquiring more information on the magnitude and distribution of economi c
impacts generated by tourists and recreationists .
The business survey was conducted in the area during the summer of 1973 .
Data were collected by personal interview . Only business sectors which were
known, based on information from a prior business survey in the area, t o
make sales to visitors were surveyed . A stratified sample, rather than a
complete enumeration of businesses, was accomplished . The sector sampling
rates varied with subjective estimates of size, importance, and varianc e
of the amount of business in each of the sectors of the local economy .
A
panel of business people knowledgeable about the area's businesses assiste d
in selecting the sample . All businesses subjectively judged by the loca l
panel as large were included in the sample . The sampling rate of the
medium-sized businesses ranged from 40 to 50 percent, and the samplin g
rate of the smaller businesses ranged from 20 to 30 percent .
The basic information obtained in the business survey pertained to how
much, to whom, and from whom individual businesses sold and bought thei r
goods and services . In order words, information on all business transaction s
during a calendar year was collected . The complete business survey questionnaire is reproduced in Appendix A .
Visitor survey data were used to determine selected characteristics
and expenditures of visitors to the Lower Umpqua River area . This survey
was also conducted in the area during the summer of 1973 . Again, the
information was obtained by personal interview . Visitors were randomly contacted at harbor areas, the Umpqua Lighthouse State Park and the Windy Cov e
County Park, and the day-use and beach areas immediately
surrounding th e
Umpqua River mouth . The basic information obtained in the visitor surve y
pertained to the purpose of their visit and their expenditures during th e
visit . The complete visitor survey questionnaire is reproduced i n
Appendix B .
Visitor survey data in association with Salmon Harbor angler effor t
and Umpqua Lighthouse State Park camper-night and day-use visitor data wer e
used to estimate the direct economic impact, via the expenditure of visitors ,
attributable to public investments in small-boat facilities and in count y
and state parks in the Lower Umpqua River area . Visitor survey data wer e
collected in this study using sampling procedures . Angler effort data
were obtained from the Oregon State Game Commission . The Commissio n
collected the data using sampling procedures . Camper-night and day-us e
visitor data were obtained from the Oregon State Parks and Recreatio n
Division . The Division collected camper-night data using actual count s
of campers and day-use visitor data using vehicle counts corrected t o
reflect day-use visitors .
An input-output model of the Douglas County economy coupled with a n
estimate of the direct economic impact attributable to public investment s
in small-boat facilities and county and state parks in the Lower Umpqu a
River area were used to derive the magnitude and distribution of th e
impact on the economy of Douglas County . Impact estimates were determine d
by simulating the county economy with and without public investments in th e
Lower Umpqua River area . The input-output model was developed prior to thi s
study . For those not familar with input-output techniques, a genera l
'description of the procedure used to develop this model and the informatio n
it provides about the basic structure of an economy is briefly discussed .
Direct Economic Impact of Visitors to the Lower Umpqua River Are a
Approximately 52 percent of the 254 individual businesses and firms located in the Lower Umpqua River area reported sales to visitors during 1972 .
Again, visitors were individuals identified by study area businesses as nonresidents of the study area . Total sales, sales to visitors, and the percentage of total sales to visitors associated with various business classifications or sectors are illustrated in Table 1 . This information was obtaine d
through the business survey which was described earlier . Seventy-seven
individual firms were contacted for business data ; 53 firms provided usefu l
information .
The direct economic impact or sales to visitors in the Lower Umpqua
River area in 1972 is estimated at about $6 .7 million . Grocery stores ,
automotive sales and service, and gasoline service stations are major recip ients of visitor expenditures . Those three business sectors directly receive d

about 73 percent, or $4 .9 million, of the estimated total visitor expenditure . Although other business sectors received a smaller amount of th e
total visitor expenditure, several did a high proportion of their busines s
with visitors . Motels and hotels, public campgrounds, trailer parks ,
charter operations, and Salmon Harbor made more than 50 percent of thei r
sales to visitors . Cafes and taverns and sporting goods and tackle shop s
derived about 36 percent of their gross sales from visitors . Automotive
parts and supply, fish processing firms, and other miscellaneous store s
derived only a small percentage of their gross sales from visitors . Thos e
sectors are relatively less directly dependent on the visitor industry .
It is difficult to judge the quality of the estimate of total visito r
expenditures in the area because secondary sources of information abou t
visitor expenditures in the area are not 'well developed . Also, it is
expected that there was some unintentional identification of resident s
as "visitors" in the area . These problems with visitor identification were
judged acceptable in the attempt to acquire information on the recreatio n
and tourism industry .
Based on estimated visitor expenditures in the Lower Umpqua River area ,
it is concluded that recreation and tourism is ah important basic industr y
of the area . The industry's relative importance, however, was not estimated .
The economic activity of many of the area's businesses depends on the recreation and tourism industry . Approximately 32 percent of the gross sales o f
recreation related businesses were derived from visitors . Consequently, th e
area has a vested interest in,planning and investment decisions whic h
influence the number of visitors in the area .
Characteristics and Expenditures o f
Lower Umpqua River Area Visitor s
A visitor survey was used to supplement information obtained in th e
business survey and to reveal other general characteristics of visitors .
Information was collected by sampling 300 visitor-days . A visitor-day is
defined as one person stopping or staying in the study area during any o r
-11-
all of one calendar day . The survey, although not extensive, provide s
useful and indicative information .
Approximately 82 percent of the visitor-days surveyed were spent i n
fishery related activities . The remaining 18 percent of the visitor-day s
were expended in nonfishing activities such as camping, sightseeing, picnicking, etc . Out-of-state visitors accounted for about 36 percent of th e
visitor days expended in both fishing and nonfishing activity . Visitors
who engaged in fishing activity remained in the area about 3 .72 days pe r
trip ; whereas, visitors who were nonfishermen averaged only 1 .11 days pe r
visit . About 38 percent of the nonfishing visitors spent less than 2 4
hours in the area ; only 14 percent of the fishing visitors spent less tha n
24 hours in the area .
Itemized expenditures of visitors engaged in fishing and nonfishin g
activities are presented in Table 2 . Expenditures are on a per visitor-da y
basis . A weighted average expenditure also is given . In 1973, fishermen
spent about $8 .00 per visitor-day in the area as contrasted to a nonfisherman's expenditure of about $4 .60 . A weighted average expenditure was esti mated at $7 .33 per .visitor-day, That weighted total is more useful for som e
estimating purposes since it reflects the composition of the area's visito r
population . The data also indicates there are major differences in th e
expenditure pattern of the two types of visitors . Nonfishermen expende d
more money for overnight accommodations in the motel and hotel'sector than
they did in the trailer park and campgrounds sector while the converse wa s
true of fishermen . Both types of visitors, however, appear to be primaril y
tent, truck, and trailer campers, because the costs of overnight motel an d
hotel accommodations are appreciably greater than overnight campgroun d
charges . Fishermen patronize cafes and taverns, charter operations, grocer y
stores, and sporting goods and tackle shops to a greater extent than d o
nonfishermen, while nonfishermen patronize . fish processing (primarily t o
purchase fresh and processed fish), clothing and department stores, an d
miscellaneous retail stores to a greater extent than do fishermen . Both
spend about the same amount of money in the service station sector .

Direct Economic Impact Attributed t o
Public Investments in Small-Boat Facilitia a
and inCounty and StateParksin th e
Lower Umpqua River Are a
Ideally, an estimate of the direct economic impact, via the expenditur e
of visitors, attributable to public investment of interest in the study are a
would be obtained by identifying visitors who are attracted to the stud y
area by these investments and then identifying their total expenditure whil e
in the area . Needless to say, that type of data is unavailable and it wa s
beyond the means of this study to collect that data . Instead, the impac t
estimate advanced in this study is derived by : (1) estimating the numbe r
of fishermen using public fishing, launching, and moorage facilities an d
the number of nonfishermen using other public facilities in the area ,
(2) converting, where appropriate, fishermen and nonfishermen numbers t o
visitor-day estimates, and (3) multiplying fishermen and nonfishermen visitor day estimates by their respective average per-visitor-day expenditure . Because of this rather imprecise procedure, the economic impact estimate is a n
order of magnitude rather than a precise estimate . It is influenced by th e
present inventory of both public and private tourist and recreation relate d
facilities in the area, but it is more closely associated with the publi c
investments in small-boat facilities and in county and state parks . Consequently, impacts attributed to incremental investments in the area's publi c
facilities or specific facilities are beyond the scope of the study . The
estimate does not include water transportation and commercial fishin g
impacts of these investments ; neither are impacts from the construction, '
operation, and maintenance of these facilities estimated . Rather, the
estimate is limited to impacts originating as expenditures of visitors wh o
include both tourists and recreationists .
The number of fishermen using public fishing, launching, and moorag e
facilities is estimated from Oregon State Game Commission Salmon Harbor anglin g
effort and catch data as this is•the only data available in the study area o n
this type of activity . That information was collected by sampling procedures .
The data reflect only the number of angler trips terminating in Salmon Harbo r
at Winchester Bay ; it does not include angler trips terminating at public boa t
-14-
ramps at Reedsport or Gardiner . The Game Commission defines an angler tri p
as one person on one fishing expedition . For purposes of this study, th e
Game Commission's estimate of the number of fishermen using Salmon Harbo r
is an approximate estimate of the number of fishermen using public fishing ,
launching, and moorage facilities in the area, because angler trip estimate s
which double count fishermen who take more than one angler trip from Salmon
Harbor during a visit to the area were assumed to offset fishermen number s
not recorded .
Game Commission estimates of Salmon Harbor angler trips show considerable variation during the period 1963-72 (Table 3) . The largest total o f
angler trips, 60,510, was recorded in 1969 ; the smallest number, 38,664, wa s
recorded in 1972 . Because of that variation, a 10-year average of angle r
trips was considered a more representative estimate of the number of fisher men using public fishing, launching, and moorage facilities in the area .
During the 10-year period, approximately 48,000 fishermen used the area' s
public facilities annually .
The number of nonfishermen using public park and day-use facilities i n
the area is estimated from Oregon State Parks and Recreation Division camper night and day-use visitor data for the Umpqua Lighthouse State Park . Onl y
state park data are used in this estimating procedure since Windy Cove
County Park is used predominantly by fishermen due to its proximity to th e
harbor and the offshore salmon angling and day-use visitor data are no t
recorded at the other public facilities . For purposes of the study, Umpqu a
Lighthouse State Park camper-night and day-use visitor data are approximate
estimates of the number of nonfishermen using public overnight campin g
facilities and the number of day-use visitors using public day-use facilitie s
in the area . It is recognized, however, that these estimates include som e
fishermen users of public facilities, such an overestimate of nonfisherme n
users is not considered a serious problem.
State park camper-night data were obtained by the park attendant wh o
counted each person in the camping party . A camper-night is defined as on e
person using the parks' camping facilities for one night during the campin g

season . Camper-night data shows some annual variation during the 1968-197 3
period . The greatest number of camper nights, 25,478, was recorded i n
1969 ; the smallest number, 23,936, was recorded in 1968 . See Table 4 .
Because of that variation, a five-year average was considered a mor e
representative number of annual user days . During the five year period
from 1968 to 1972 approximately 24,650 person days were consumed in th e
area's state park camping facilities annually .
State park day-use visitor estimates were obtained directly from th e
Oregon State Parks and Recreation Division . Day-use visitor data ar e
derived from traffic counts . During the past several years, day-us e
visitor numbers at the state park have shown wide fluctuations . The mos t
recent, and probably the most accurate, count indicated that 87,4 .86 day use visitors used the state park's day-use facilities annually (compile d
by fiscal year) . A day-use visitor is defined as one pdrson visiting th e
area for any part or all of a calendar day .
Because fishermen numbers do not adequately reflect the length o f
their visit in the area, it was necessary to convert these numbers t o
visitor-day estimates . The conversion is based on visitor survey dat a
which indicated that fishermen remained in the area about 3 .72 days per
visit . Consequently, visitor-day estimates for fishermen are derived b y
multiplying fishermen numbers by 3 .72 days per visit . On that basis, it i s
estimated that approximately 178,560 fishermen visitor-days annually ar e
attributed to public investments in fishing, launching, and moorage facilities and about 24,650 nonfishermen camper visitor-days annually ar e
attributed to public investments in camping facilities in the Lower Umpqu a
River area . An additional 87,486 day-use visitors annually are attribute d
to public investments in day-use facilities in the area . Day-use and
camper night estimates, by definition, reflect the length of the user visi t
in the area .
The estimated direct economic impact, via the expenditure of visitors ,
attributed to public investments in fishing, launching, moorage, and campin g

facilities in the Lower Umpqua River area is about $1 .9 million annually .
This estimate is derived by multiplying fishermen and nonfishermen visitor day estimates attributed to these investments by their respective average
per-visitor-day expenditure in the area ; refer to Table 5 . Visitor-day
expenditure data were obtained from visitor survey information .
This estimate indicates that a significant portion of total visito r
expenditures in the area are related to these public investments . Approximately 28 percent of the area's total visitor sales were derived fro m
people who utilized the area's public fishing, launching, moorage, camping ,
and day-use facilities .
At this juncture, the interpretation given the direct economic impac t
estimate must be carefully explained . The estimate reflects the impac t
currently attributed to public investments of interest in this study . I t
does not necessarily reflect the amount of visitor expenditure which woul d
be lost to the study area if these public investments had not been made a s
it is likely that several types of private developments would probably-hav e
taken place instead . The issue is not clear-cut, however-, because of th e
unique recreational character of the Oregon coast and its abundance o f
public facilities which tend to directly substitute for public facilitie s
in the study area . Also complicating the issue is the nature and th e
magnitude of some of the public investments (i .e ., entrance jetties an d
channel at the Umpqua River mouth, Ziolkowski Beach, etc .) ofd interest in
this study . It is highly unlikely that these types of investments woul d
be duplicated by private individuals .
Because economic impact analysis is not capable of isolating out th e
positive and negative economic effects of these issues, the impact estimat e
is considered an approximate measure of the amount of visitor expenditur e
which would be lost to the study area if these public investments had no t
been made .

Economic Impact on the Douglas County Econom y
of Visitor Expenditures Attributed to Publi c
Investments in Small-Boat Facilities and in Count y
and State Parks in the Lower Umpqua River Are a
A 1970 Douglas County input-output economic model developed by Youman s
and others-- is used to estimate the economic impact on the Douglas Count y
economy of visitor expenditures attributed to selected public investment s
in the Lower Umpqua River area . Public investments of particular concer n
in the study area include a boat turning basin and small boat moorages a t
Salmon Harbor, a river channel to Reedsport with side channels serving
Salmon Harbor at Winchester Bay, Scholfield Creek in Reedsport, and Gardiner ,
entrance jetties and channel at the Umpqua River mouth, Windy Cove County
Park, Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, and Ziolkowski Beach . The general procedure used to develop the working model, and the basic structure and economi c
interrelationships of businesses in the county economy, are presented befor e
the economic impact on the Douglas County economy is estimated .
The model of the county economy is developed by grouping similar firms
or organizations together and then accounting for the economic transaction s
within and among those businesses . Transaction data were developed from a
business survey questionnaire similar to the business questionnaire illustrated in Appendix A . A more detailed description of the survey procedure i s
referenced in Youmans, et
al.
The data describes the flow of goods and ser-
vices in the county economy as well as between the county and the outsid e
economy . Those latter flows are called "leakages " from local busines s
activity since subsequent effects of expenditures occur outside the count y
economy .
The basic economic activities of the Douglas County economy includ e
timber, manufacturing, and county visitors, who are largely recreationist s
and tourists . Collectively, these three economic activities account fo r

38 percent, or $320 million, of the economy's 1970 $849 million output ;
refer to Table 6 . The timber industry alone contributed about 30 percen t
of the total output . Visitors contributed about 2 percent of the tota l
output . Based on visitor sales estimates in the Lower Umpqua River area ,
refer to Table 1, about 36 percent of the county's total visitor sale s
were generated in the Lower Umpqua River area . Economic activity generated by the supporting businesses of the economy (i .e ., retail an d
wholesale trade, communications, transportation, etc .) contributed mos t
of the remaining output .
The Douglas County economy is primarily an export economy relying o n
sales to purchasers outside its boundary to maintain its economic viability .
About 42 percent, or $359 million, of the county's output is derived fro m
sales or revenue from outside the county . More than $224 million of thos e
exports, or 63 percent, came from its timber industry . This is expected ,
as Douglas County is the largest timber producing county in the Unite d
States . Excluding transfers from state or federal government to loca l
government units, other major export activities are manufacturing an d
visitors .
The interrelationship of businesses within the county economy is bes t
illustrated in Table 7 . In that table, all the economic activity generate d
from an additional dollar of business in any business classification o r
sector is recorded . It shows the effects of a one-dollar change (i .e . ,
either an increase or a decrease in sales) in business within the econom y
in 1970 . The table is read from top to bottom ; the information in th e
table is derived from a survey of businesses . A detailed definition o f
each of the business classifications in the table is presented in Appendi x
C . To illustrate some of the business interrelationship information contained in the table, the effect of a change in visitor expenditures (recorde d
in column 32) is followed through the economy .
Assume visitor expenditures in the economy increase by one dollar .
A
very small impact is identified in timber, commercial fishing, agricultural ,

and manufacturing receipts as a result of increased visitor expenditures .
This is a result of the limited ties between those businesses and visitors .
A significant impact is identified in lodging, cafes and taverns, servic e
stations, automotive sales and services, communications and transportation ,
professional services, financial services, construction, retail and whole sale trade, retail .services and organizations, and household receipts as a
result of increased visitor expenditure . Those businesses either includ e
recreational businesses or have a business relationship with them . Fo r
example, a significant relationship exists between householders and visitors ,
as employee wages represent an appreciable expense of recreational and service businesses . Additional information about the interrelationship o f
visitors with other businesses is revealed by'continuing down the column
At the bottom of the column is the sum of the identified economic impacts
from a dollar of additional visitor expenditure . After all impacts ar e
accumulated, the additional dollar of visitor expenditure has a combine d
effect of increasing economic activity in the county by $2 .84 . Such an
analysis can be repeated for each business sector to appraise the differen t
economic effects of changes in its business .
The economic impact on the Douglas County economy of visitor expenditures attributed to public investments in small-boat facilities and i n
county and state parks in the Lower Umpqua River area are presente d
in Table 8 . Total economic impact estimates are determined by simulatin g
the county economy with and without these investments in the study area . '
To approximate the without-public-investment situation, visitor expenditure s
in the study area (and consequently the county economy) are reduced by th e
estimated direct economic impact attributed to the area's public investments .
The direct economic impact, via the expenditure of visitors, of those in vestments is estimated at approximately $1 .9 million annually (refer to
Table 5) . Economic impacts reported in Table 8 are measured as a change-i n
total county and business classification or sector output recorded as tota l
gross sales . It should be remembered that these estimates are only a par t
of the impact resulting from these investments since water' transportatio n
and commercial fishing impacts attributed to harbor and channel investmen t

are not included . Neither are impacts from the construction, operation ,
and maintenance of these facilities included .
The estimated economic impact on the Douglas County economy of visito r
expenditures attributed to public investments in the study area in small boat facilities and in county and state parks is approximately $5 .4 million
annually . Those impacts accrue to most business sectors of the economy .
Timber, commercial fishing, agriculture, U .S . Forest Service, and Bureau
of Land Management sectors are not appreciably affected by visitor expenditures as they make only a few direct sales to visitors or have a limite d
business relationship with recreational or tourist businesses . The county' s
business sectors most affected by visitor expenditures attributed to publi c
investments in the Lower Umpqua River area include retail and wholesal e
trade, retail services and organizations, households, service stations, an d
automotive sales and service sectors . Possibly the most important impac t
recorded in the table appears in the household sector as household sale s
represent wages and salaries of the county's employed population . Economic
impact estimates indicate that about $570,000 of the county's total gros s
wages and salaries are attributed to public investments in the Lower Umpqu a
River area . Although that impact represents only a small percentage of th e
county's household income, the magnitude of the impact is significant .
Study Implication s
Business and visitor survey data collected in the Lower Umpqua River
area suggest that the economic activity of many of the area's businesse s
depend on visitor expenditures . Further analysis, by input-output methods ,
indicate that visitor expenditures in the Lower Umpqua River area have a
significant impact on the economic activity of Douglas County . As a resul t
of these economic ties, residents of the Lower Umpqua River area as well a s
residents of the rest of Douglas County have a vested interest in plannin g
and investment decisions which influence the number of visitors in th e
Lower Umpqua River area . Visitor survey data also indicates that the typ e
of visitor the area attracts is of importance because there are som e
-29-
significant characteristics and expenditure differences among visitor s
(refer to Table 2) . For example, fishermen tend to stay longer in th e
Lower Umpqua River area and spend more per-visitor-day than nonfishermen .
The study indicates that a significant portion of visitor expenditure s
in the study area are attributed to public investment in the area in smallboat facilities and in county and state parks . Although this estimate is a
gross estimate of impact and identifies the order of magnitude of impac t
within the community, it could prove useful, in the absence of more explici t
data, to the various public agencies and residents of the area of Dougla s
County in evaluating these or other proposed investments .
Input-output analysis also indicated that the economic impact, a s
measured at the county level, of visitor expenditures in the study are a
accrue to most businesses of the county . However, they accrue primarily t o
retail and wholesale trade, retail services and organizations, service stations, and automotive sales and service businesses and their employees, an d
surely have the greatest impact on the county businesses in or near th e
coast but do extend into the western portion as that area provides supportin g
goods and services . The distribution of these impacts, no doubt, influenc e
the economic community's attitude about public harbor, park, and day-us e
facility investments . These impacts, regardless of their incidence o f
occurrence should not be ignored in evaluating the feasibility of these o r
other proposed investments .
The usefulness of input-output analyses in evaluating the economic impact resulting from actual or proposed investments and/or changes in resource
development policies is illustrated in this study . The accuracy of the impact
estimate derived by input-output methods is dependent upon data sources an d
'procedures used to estimate the direct economic impact of the policy or in vestment of concern . The estimation of direct impacts warrants carefu l
consideration particularly when evaluating public investments since direc t
economic impacts are difficult to isolate . Because of these difficultie s
-30-
the impact estimates of the study are order .of magnitude rather tha n
precise estimates . To improve impact estimate', additional resource s
will have to be devoted to collecting more detailed direct economi c
impact data and having the opportunities to do some before-after studie s
to better establish cause effect relationships .
