Abstract: Two demand models of recreational participation and site choice are developed: an alternatives model and an expenditures model. Both assume maximization of utility over the year, so allow for
diminishing marginal utility. They do not impose the restrictive assumption that where one goes on a trip is independent of where one plans to go on other occasions. Estimation is with a nested
constant-elasticity-of-substitution preference ordering: it is relatively easy to estimate because of local regularity, it allows sites to be complements, and it has the potential to be locally flexible.
The application is to Atlantic salmon fishing.
Key words: Atlantic salmon fishing, neoclassical recreation demand, nested CES.
