“…It is in fact on the development of the activities present in the area that the territory's economic growth depends on. Development objectives are de ned based on the needs, capacities and prospects of the local players, and the participation of the population is a key principle and mode of action [21]. The concept of development itself must be approached comprehensively, i.e.…”

Starting in the 1970s, agriculture in Western countries began to progressively lose the critical success factors on which it based its competitive advantage, which was localization. The development of both the food industry and organized distribution, the intensification of trade, and the speed of information transfer led to new needs and new scenarios within which new agricultural systems emerged. This research analyzed the changes imposed on the agricultural system by the economic development process and determined the trajectories taken by some agricultural entrepreneurs. The study shows that those agricultural entrepreneurs who have been able to adapt their business strategy to the new production scenarios that have emerged remain competitive in the market, while those who have been passively affected by economic development have resulted in agriculture that in many ways only manages to survive thanks to the contribution of the Common Agricultural Policy and without which it would be ousted from the market.

“…Few studies focus on the relationship between the characteristics of tourists and their WTP for services, particularly in the mountains. In many cases a Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) approach is used, often applied to estimate the value visitors place on recreation by measuring visitor consumer surplus and WTP for non-consumptive uses, but also Conjoint Analysys (Marangon et al 2013) and Choice Experiments method (Mazzocchi & Sali 2018, Goio & Gios 2012, Thiene & Scarpa 2008. As an example, Keske & Mayer (2014) tried to estimate the WTP of tourists for hypothetical fee increases at hiking trails located in a mountain area in Colorado State, USA, using a Contingent Valuation Method approach.…”

Traditional extensive agriculture is the main factor of landscape management in the mountains: a large part of the Alps is modelled by agriculture. Interpreted as a multifunctional activity, including landscape modelling and maintenance, agriculture generates the conditions under which mountain pasture landscape is an economic resource potentially exploitable by tourism. The aim of this work is to draw the profiles of tourists of mountain pastures and to estimate their Willingness to Pay (WTP)for landscape pastures resilience. The innovation of this work lies in the use of a multivariate approach using Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA). The analysis obtained three clusters that identify different tourists’ profiles. The main result is the existence of a positive WTP for the permanence of pasture systems with an agricultural management. Policy guidelines have been proposed to institutions owning pastures and huts to manage these assets.

“…It is not easy to identify a clear link between a product introduced onto the market and the payment requested for that product (the effectiveness attribute), and the identification of producers and beneficiaries is equally complicated. The cultural aspects influencing the interpretation of landscape should not be underestimated (Goio & Gios 2011). Thus, it is important that all attempts to apply a PES to a forest landscape should first identify the specific characteristics of that landscape.…”

Forest ecosystems produce environmental services from which individuals benefit. In recent decades, interest in these services has significantly increased to meet the demand for new products and services related to landscape use and recreational activities. These new products and services are defined as Non-Wood Forest Products and Services (NWFP&Ss). There is the possibility, and in certain cases the need, to introduce a system of payment for these NWFP&Ss. However, the transformation of forest environmental goods and services into commercial products and services is not a straightforward process. This paper reviews a number of successful payment mechanisms for NWFP&Ss in order to examine the elements which contribute to transforming these externalities into sources of income for people living near forests
