The program has used case studies in combination with a national/regional postal and follow-up Internet inquiry to provide information on participation in outdoor recreational activities as well as associated motivations, constraints, economic and social factors [Fredman etai 2008]. The postal survey included a national sample of 4,700 and regional oversampling in three regions [two urban proximate and one coastal] of 2,300. The aims of the report was to describe nature tourism from both tourism provider and consumer points of view, to propose a definition of nature tourism, to examine present tourism statistics and other sources of knowledge from a Swedish nature tourism perspective, and to present suggestions on how nature tourism in Sweden can be better measured and quantified.
