These nature-related activities generated both direct and indirect benefits.
Direct benefits are economic values that people place on the utilization of a resource.
In this study, indicators of direct benefits were obtained in response to the question on how much value people place on nature-related activities. Indirect benefits are indicators of the economic activity generated by the use of a resource. In this study, indicators of indirect benefits were obtained in response to the question on the magnitude of the economic impacts that result from expenditures by participants in nature-related activities. These two distinct types of benefits are illustrated in Figure 6 . For people sightseeing in natural areas, their satisfaction could come from a sunset or the sight of the beautiful leaves in the fall.
