Opening text for surveyor:

Hello, I understand that you do not want to answer the longer version of the survey, but I am wondering if you would please answer three quick questions. This should take less than 2 minutes of your time today.

This information is needed to check the representativeness of our sample against the population. Question 1 and 2 are used to create separate profiles for local, non-local resident, and non-resident visitors as well as group size. Question #3 is the dependent variable, the distance traveled to reach PPNM. Distance traveled is a good predictor of demand and visitation behavior
