Trends in Outdoor Recreation (1995-2008)

In August 2008, Sport NI and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board commissioned us to undertake a research project to assess the trends in 23 outdoor recreation activities during the last 13 years, with a view to informing the preparation of a new Outdoor Recreation Strategy for Northern Ireland. The study commenced in September 2008 and was completed in January 2009 by an independent consultant.  A fact sheet summarising the report is also available.

The study was further extended to asses the the trends in participation in walking, cycling and horse riding between 1995-2010.
