Abstract: Information about the spending patterns of recreational craft users is of great interest, both to the public and the private maritime sectors. Firstly, spending patterns can guide operators and businesses working in the sector in planning strategies based on types and volumes of trade. Moreover, an awareness of their impact on the various economic macro-magnitudes might persuade governments to promote certain activities. After elaborating a user profile for the Autonomous Community of Cantabria, Spain, this paper determines the spending patterns and their effects on regional employment. This activity shows several intersectorial relations in the generation of employment, especially with the disadvantaged economic sectors.
