THANK YOU!

for participating in this Recreation Survey


Dear Visitor,


During your recent trip to Puerto Rico you indicated that you would be willing to complete this questionnaire. It is self-explanatory and should take about 20 minutes to complete. Please record your answers accurately and legibly. Your answers represent many other people not included in this survey effort so it is very important that you return your questionnaire.


Your answers are voluntary. Your name will never be released to anyone unless otherwise required by law. After the comple- tion of the project all materials identifying you as an individual will be destroyed.


When you complete the questionnaire, please reverse-fold it so that our return address on the GREEN PAGE in the inside is folded to the out- side. Please staple or tape to seal the questionnaire and mail it back to us. No postage is needed. Your cooperation in this effort is greatly appreciated.


Sincerely,


Dr. Miguel del Pozo (Project Lead)

University of Puerto Rico - Mayaguez Campus

Telephone: (787) 941-3559
