Chapter 10 teaches us of the recreational environments, attractions, and clubs in the U.S and around the world. Government taxes are invested into some of these locations for people to have a sense of recreation in order to enjoy their lives. One benefit of constructing these locations is that it produces more money for that specific surrounding, for example, a restaurant would benefit from a new amusement park or recreation nearby. People who attend these activities will also attend the restaurant that’s nearby whenever they get hungry. This chapter discusses the use of national parks and how these parks are kept conserved and clean through recreation managements. Last but not least, this chapter discusses international recreation outside of the U.S.
