ecotourism

The goal of ecotourism is to provide clean, ready-to-use datasets for example analyses in teaching, demos, and reproducible workflows.
It currently includes wildlife (e.g., cuttlefish) occurrence records, tourism counts by region, and local weather for matching locations.

?ecotourism::DATASET_NAME

Example

This is a minimal usage sketch. Replace DATASET_NAME with one from the table above.

library(ecotourism)

# List datasets included in the package
utils::data(package = "ecotourism")

# Example workflow (replace DATASET_NAME with a real object from the list)
# data("DATASET_NAME", package = "ecotourism")
# head(DATASET_NAME)
# str(DATASET_NAME)

# Tip: quick summaries if dplyr is available:
# if (requireNamespace("dplyr", quietly = TRUE)) {
#   dplyr::glimpse(DATASET_NAME)
# }
