Table 1 uses quantitative data to tell us of the collective identities of trip-takers in England in 2005. We can see from table 1similarities in age being 45+, employed full-time, not having children in their household, owning or having personal access to a car, not having a disability and being of white ethnicity between people visiting England's national parks, rural trip-taker's and all trip-taker's. The differences I have noted are that people under 45 are more likely to be rural trip-taker's than national park trip-taker's, and that the majority of visit-taker's to England's national parks are wealthy achievers or comfortably off the amount of visit-taker's that are of urban prosperity , moderate means or hard pressed are very low and that visit-taker's with children in their household were more so rural trip-taker's. Table 1 also shows that people with disabilities were of higher percentage of rural trip-taker's than national park trip-taker's. The main difference I noticed was that of ethnicity. Only 2% of rural trip-taker's and national trip-taker's were of non-white ethnicity compared to that of 96% of white ethnicity, this is a substantial difference.
Table 1 identifies many different identities, and covers basically the majority of people living in the UK today broken down into groups according to age, sex, job/earnings, ethnicity, disabled etc. and I feel the majority of people of visit England's national parks are middle aged (younger than retirement age) with perhaps grown up off-spring but this is merely an assumption bought on from the children in household category, white, wealthy achievers or comfortably off, more than likely professional home and car owners.
