摘要：
The purpose of this study was to determine if there are distinct socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics among visitors based on distance traveled. The sample consisted of 642 visitors to the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. Chi-Square tests showed that more distant visitors participated more in viewing activities, were more likely to be first time and day visitors, did less camping, and spent more money on activities, private lodging, and transportation than those traveling shorter distances. One-way ANOVA tests revealed that distant visitors had less place attachment with the destination, visited the destination less frequently, and spent longer periods away from home than close visitors.
