Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account: Prototype Statistics for 2012-2016
Outdoor recreation accounts for 2.0 percent of GDP in 2016

Prototype statistics from the Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account (ORSA) released today by the U.S.
Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) show that the outdoor recreation
economy accounted for 2.0 percent ($373.7 billion) of current-dollar GDP in 2016 (table 1). In addition,
the outdoor recreation economy grew 3.8 percent in 2016, compared to growth of 2.8 percent in the
overall economy.
“Businesses need the right data to help them hire, invest and grow. The historical lack of detailed
federal data regarding outdoor recreational activities has handicapped both the private and public
sectors. The public will no doubt be surprised at the economic importance of this industry as we release
prototype statistics measuring the impact of activities like boating, fishing, RVing, hunting, camping,
hiking, and more. This release is a milestone for business executives, small-business owners,
entrepreneurs, and government officials, who will rely on these detailed data to plan, grow, and gain
new insights into this dynamic part of the U.S. economy,” said U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

The new account is the latest addition in a series of satellite accounts complementing BEA’s statistics,
including accounts on travel and tourism and arts and cultural production. These accounts do not change
BEA’s official statistics, including GDP. They provide greater detail and allow closer analysis of a specific
area of the economy by extracting information embedded in the official economic statistics.
Outdoor Recreation by Activity
In the Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account, gross output—principally a measure of sales or receipts
associated with the outdoor recreation economy—is presented both by industry and by outdoor
recreation activity. Outdoor recreation activities fall into three general categories: conventional core
activities (including activities such as bicycling, boating, hiking, and hunting), other core activities
(including activities such as agritourism and outdoor festivals), and supporting activities (including
construction, trips and travel, and government). In 2016, conventional recreation accounted for 36.7
percent of total outdoor recreation gross output, other recreation accounted for 22.1 percent, and
supporting activities accounted for the remaining 41.2 percent (table 2).

•

Motorized Vehicles was the largest activity within conventional outdoor recreation in 2016,
accounting for $59.4 billion of gross output. Recreational vehicles accounted for more than half
of this value at $30.0 billion.

•

Boating/Fishing activities were $38.2 billion in 2016, an increase of 4.0 percent from the
previous year.

•

Hunting/Shooting/Trapping activities were $15.4 billion in 2016, with hunting accounting for
over 60 percent of this value.

•

Multi-use apparel and accessories, which include backpacks, bug spray, and other generalpurpose gear and accessories that could not be allocated to specific activities, grew 7.2 percent
in 2016 and accounted for 35.0 percent of conventional outdoor recreation gross output.

Outdoor Recreation by Industry
Outdoor recreation value added is presented by industry in the ORSA and shows how an industry’s
participation in the outdoor recreation economy contributes to GDP. For example, the data show that
the retail trade, accommodation and food services, and manufacturing industries were the largest
contributors to the outdoor recreation economy in 2016, accounting for half of all outdoor recreation
activity (table 1).

For the retail trade industry, outdoor recreation value added was $81.7 billion and accounted for
21.9 percent of all activity in the outdoor recreation economy.

•

Outdoor recreation value added was $55.7 billion in accommodation and food services, with
about 63 percent of this value coming from accommodations and 37 percent from food services
and drinking places.

•

Outdoor recreation value added for manufacturing was $51.3 billion, primarily reflecting activity
in the subcategories of petroleum and coal products and other transportation equipment.

•

Outdoor recreation value added was $47.4 billion in arts, entertainment, and recreation and
accounted for 24.7 percent of that industry’s total value added.

Public comment and feedback
The public is invited to submit comments and feedback on these preliminary statistics by emailing
OutdoorRecreation@bea.gov. Final statistics are scheduled for release in the fall of 2018, and feedback
will be used to help finalize the definitions, data sources, and methodology that underpin the new
account and the format in which final results are displayed. To ensure consideration, comments should
be submitted no later than April 27, 2018.

Preparing the Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account
The Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account (ORSA) measures the size of the outdoor recreation
economy and the link between outdoor recreation and the broader United States economy. Like other
satellite accounts, the ORSA was built on BEA’s comprehensive supply-use framework. The supply-use
tables provide a detailed look at the relationships among industries and how each industry contributes
to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In practice, the ORSA is a rearrangement of the published supply-use
tables that isolates outdoor recreation spending and production. For example, the supply-use tables
show the production of all apparel, whereas the ORSA shows the production of apparel used
specifically for outdoor recreation activities, such as wet suits and hiking boots. A variety of private and
public data sources were used to identify outdoor recreation spending and production in order to
develop the prototype ORSA estimates.
The term “outdoor recreation” can be defined in many different ways. BEA staff worked closely with
outdoor recreation experts from academia, government, and industry to develop the definition of
outdoor recreation used in the ORSA. To meet the needs of diverse data users, the definition and
presentation of statistics used in the prototype account are designed to capture both the conventional
and broad views of outdoor recreation reflected in existing literature. The conventional definition
reflects more traditional outdoor recreation activities such as hunting, hiking, camping, and fishing.
More formally, the conventional definition includes all recreational activities undertaken for pleasure
that generally involve some level of intentional physical exertion and occur in nature-based
environments outdoors. The broad definition includes all conventional outdoor recreation activities and
a range of additional activities. More formally, the broad definition includes all recreational activities
undertaken for pleasure that occur outdoors.
The ORSA follows other BEA satellite accounts by dividing outdoor recreation activity into two general
categories: core and supporting. Core activities include the production and purchase of goods and
services used directly for outdoor recreation, while supporting activities are defined as goods and
services that support access to outdoor recreation activities. Core activities for the ORSA include the
production and purchase of gear, equipment, fuel, concessions, maintenance, repair, and fees.
Supporting activities include trip expenses, construction, and government expenditures related to
outdoor recreation activities.
An important feature of the ORSA is the presentation of gross output estimates by type of outdoor
recreation activity, in addition to the standard presentation of estimates by industry. Due to overlap
among many outdoor activities (for example, hiking while camping or fishing while boating), activities
were either split into mutually exclusive categories when source data allowed or combined into a single
category containing multiple related activities. For example, camping and hiking were combined into a
single category to avoid double counting the many items that can be used for both activities.
The final ORSA report is scheduled for publication in the fall of 2018 in response to the requirements of
the Outdoor Recreation Jobs and Economic Impact Act of 2016, which directed the Secretary of
Commerce to “enter into a joint memorandum with the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of
the Interior to conduct, acting through the Director of the Bureau of Economic Analysis, an assessment
and analysis of the outdoor recreation economy of the United States and the effects attributable to
such economy on the overall economy of the United States.”
Additional information on the outdoor recreation statistics and the data sources and methodology that
underlie their preparation will be available in the March 2018 issue of the Survey of Current Business.

Gross output (GO) is the value of the goods and services
produced by the nation’s economy. It is principally
measured using industry sales or receipts, including sales to
final users (GDP) and sales to other industries (intermediate
inputs).
Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at “market
value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or as
“current-price estimates.”
