Using disaggregate recreational data collected from ten recreation area in the Taiwan area, this research explored the substitutional and complementary relationships between recreation areas. Several generalized extreme value models were established. The results showed that a newly developed recreation area had a great substitutional effect on a nearby early developed recreation area with similar recreation resource. However, its effect on another nearby early developed recreation area with different recreation resource was relatively small. The results also showed that two early developed recreation areas had a complementary effect on a nearby newly developed recreation area.
