Recreation model data

[amw015]

Hello,

I’m currently doing some research into nature-based tourism during Covid and was keen on using the recreation model from the natural capital project, but noticed the flickr data in the model only allows from 2005-2017, I was wondering if there was any chance of an updated data set existing? Or if there is a way to input other crowdsourced data into the model?

Thank you for the help.

Hi @amw015,

This is a pretty common ask / request. See this post for a recent rundown on the model stands.

Recreation model data availability

Hi @Thomas , we don’t have plans right now to include more years of Flickr data in the Recreation model. That doesn’t mean it will never happen. But it is my perception that while there is demand for up-to-date data on recreation and tourism patterns, the more recent years of Flickr data may not meet that demand because Flickr has not been a widely used platform in the last several years.

Thanks,

Doug
