March Travel
Figures Down
In Smoky Park
An estimated 309,200
recreation visits were
recorded at Great Smoky
Mountains National Park
during the month of March.
This represents a decrease of
7 percent compared to the
332,800 visits during March
1978, according to park
Superintendent Merrill D.
Beal.
Recreation visits during the
first quarter of 1979 are
estimated at 800,200 ? a 9
percent decrease compared to
the same period last year
when the estimated travel
figure was 660,600.
The lower travel figures are
also reflected in developed
campground use which shows
a 20 percent decrease from
March 1978 ? and a 14 per
cent decrease from the first
quarter of 1978.
Back country overnight use
also is down ? a 7 percent
decrease in March and an 11
percent decrease during the
first quarter.
It is difficult to determine
why fewer people were about
except, possibly, the in
clement weather during the
quarter, also, rising costs ?
not only in gasoline but in
food and lodging and the
threat of shortages ? could
be a factor.
