"While there are no consolidated data on all ecotourism activities
taking place in the U.S., it is estimated that Americans spend
billions of dollars annually. On federal lands alone, there are an
estimated 900 million visits a year to national forests, parks,
monuments, historic sites, recreation areas, protected areas and
wildlife refuges, reserves and management areas -- most of these
visits include sightseeing, hiking, wildlife observation, swimming,
snorkeling or other forms of ecotourism."

Thank you for the attempt. It's not quite what I'm looking for-maybe I
need to rephrase my question.

Thanks.
