Abstract
This paper uses revised data and reports from the Travel Research Server of the Texas Economic Development Agency (TED) to project the results of Fesenmaier and others (1987) and Tanyeri-Abur and others (1998) to 2001 with respect to recreational spending, commercial fishing, and some measures of total economic impact. The role Galveston B&E may play with respect to quality-of-life issues and the future economic competitiveness of the region is discussed.
