Cape May
Aging seaside resorts can lead several lives. Where once, sand and surf were the major attractions, now the resort's tourist appeal can lie more in cultural, historical amenities. Cape May, New Jersey is one of America's oldest seaside resorts. Its early preeminence was based on the combination of natural recreational resources and relative location. When travelers arrived by steamboat, Cape May was the most accessible ocean beach. The railroad e…

A note on cruiseship traffic patterns in the Caribbean
Students of tourism have long recognized the Caribbean area as a popular tourist objective. The visitors have come primarily from North America; as Burkart and Medlik ob‐served, “...the principal tourist reception areas in the world lie up to about 1,000 miles or so from the generating source or, to put it another way, at about two hours flying time”. The Caribbean's large and expanding tourist trade may be attributed to, in addition to this obvi…

Trends in public recreational land management in the United States
Competition among various potential land uses for the finite and ecologically vulnerable resources of attractive landscapes is a problem of the first magnitude for the United States. Americans increasingly sense that the ‘ frontier psychology ’ of virtually unlimited space and resources as applied to recreational amenities and spaces is no longer valid; that they are indeed competing for recreational space. They compete with forms of land‐use inc…

The increasing significance of the convention business to the economy of resorts
The conventions, conferences, assemblies, meetings and transient trade shows of voluntary membership organizations may be grouped together under the general heading of “ conventions ”. Conventions have been growing in number and size throughout the world as the necessity of the interchange of information and specialized knowledge increases. In the professional, academic, and business fields, the mutual benefits obtained through personal contacts,…
The Recreational Business District
A classic, predictable series of urban business districts is recognized by most urban specialists. Most sizeable towns possess a Central Business District, a number of Shopping Thoroughfares, Neighborhood Business Districts and Isolated Retail Nodes. Each of these characteristic districts may be identified by a characteristic set of retail establishments. To this usual series of business districts must be added a "Recreational Business District" …
Recreational land use patterns within an American seaside resort
Urban areas whose dominant economic activities are those of providing an array of recreational services to tourists normally reflect this specialization in their land use patterns. Although precise statistical definition of the relative importance of recreational functions within an urban economy has certain inherent difficulties, some towns are so obviously dependent on tourism that they are universally recognized as resorts. In these towns, a c…
A supplementary technique of measuring the recreational functions of cities
One of the traditional sources of data available for the interpretation of the relative significance of any facet of the economic structure of urban areas, either within a city, or for purposes of inter‐city comparisons, has been some version of employment data . However, as noted previously, dependence solely on employment data for the identification of recreational functions within cities does not permit objective differentiation of the recreat…

A note on the urban‐nonurban imbalance in American recreational research
Recreation is a many‐faceted phenomenon. It is curious that so dominant a place in American recreational literature has been held, virtually without exception, by studies of recreational activities in dominantly rural settings. The necessity of examining and understanding the characteristics of and utilization of recreation facilities within nonurban environments is not in question. The rapidly increasing economic and social significance of leisu…

A note on the urban‐nonurban imbalance in American recreational research
“Seaside standards and culture patterns have now reached such stages of refinement that it is possible to judge a man's status, tastes, and income by the beach he attends...”. Some of the most intensive and highly specialized recreational land use exists along the ocean beaches of northeastern United States, providing a great range of social group appeal. In contrast to the essentially extensive recreational land use patterns of the rural, resour…
