Tourist Tracking Project 2016: Wineglass Bay Track Car Park Analysis

This report outlines research into tourist use of the Wineglass Bay Track Car Park using data collected during the first stage of the University of Tasmania’s Tourist Tracking Project (from the 2016 sample of 472 tourists in Tasmania). Of the 472 tourists tracked across Tasmania, 157 were identified in the Wineglass Bay Track Car Park at some stage during their trip. This assessment examined how these tourists used the Wineglass Bay Track Car Park in the Freycinet National Park on Tasmania’s east coast with a specific focus on car park utilisation during peak hours (11am to 2pm). In addition, it also examined general park use and overnight locations selected by tourists that used the car park.
