Visitor Mobility at The Hulls Cove Visitor Center in Acadia National Park
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerAcadia National Park’s Hulls Cove Visitor Center (HCVC) has struggled with issues of crowding and congestion, yet there has never been an indoor visitor use study at the HCVC. This research aimed to understand visitor movement at the Visitor Center. We used a four-pronged approach that included traditional surveys, timestamp cards, Bluetooth Listening, and Ultrawideband Tracking. Through these methods, it was determined that the primary areas of congestion in the Visitor Center were the park information desk and the park store. All four methods reinforced the finding that interaction with park rangers is a significant reason for visitors to come to the Hulls Cove Visitor Center.
