Exploring the Market Potential for Yukon Mountain Bike Tourism
Year: 2005
Benefits studied: Trail use estimates, User attitudes
Uses studied: Mountain biking
Overview: This study found that the Yukon Territory in Canada has the potential to become a destination for mountain biking based on its undeveloped landscape, varied terrain that would accommodate a range of abilities, and existing network of old First Nations and prospector trails. The difficulty of reaching the Yukon by car or plane is a substantial obstacle that could be overcome for some visitors by marketing the area’s frontier reputation.
