MARKET SIZE for outdoor recreation activities in US dollars, by activity and state — BEA's Outdoor Recreation Satellite Account (official government statistics, not analyst estimates). Use for "how big is the hunting industry", "fishing economy by state", "which states have the largest outdoor recreation economy", "value of the skiing industry". Activities include hunting, shooting, fishing, boating, hiking/camping, equestrian, skiing/snow, bicycling, RVing, motorcycling/ATV, golf/tennis, guided tours, and the overall total. Returns value added (the activity's contribution to GDP) per state for a year, ranked. IMPORTANT: birdwatching and wildlife WATCHING are not separate lines in this account — hunting and fishing are the only wildlife-related activities measured, so do not use this to size birding specifically. This tool wraps BEA table SAOACTVA so you do not have to know BEA table or line codes; for other BEA data use get_data.
