Abstract
This benchmarking report summarizes key findings from a national survey of university based organizations engaged in outdoor recreation, tourism, hospitality, and agritourism. Nine institutions participated, offering insights into their organizational structures, funding models, staffing, programmatic focus, and partnerships. Despite differences in scale and institutional alignment, many organizations shared common challenges and aspirations—chief among them, achieving financial sustainability, expanding staff capacity, and deepening engagement with state agencies and rural communities.
