Short Statement: The previous OMB approved surveys were not utilized due to irrelevance at each recreation area. As a result, visitor satisfaction data was not collected and an opportunity to improve based on visitor comments and opinion was missed. Changing the visitor survey format, by allowing recreation areas to create customized surveys, will empower recreation areas to collect the valuable data comments from Reclamation recreation consumers which will be utilized to respond to emerging trends and changes from the public demographic profile of users, values, needs, wants, desires, and conflicts between user groups.
