“…Furthermore, the so-called "viewshed effect" of offshore wind energy may have a particularly acute economic impact on coastal touristic destinations, an observation corroborated across multiple case studies in Spain (Voltaire and Koutchade, 2020), the US (Landry et al, 2012;Lilley et al, 2010;Parsons et al, 2020), France (Westerberg et al, 2013) and Denmark (Ladenburg and Dubgaard, 2007), among other jurisdictions. This may lead to significant revenue losses for tourism-dependent businesses, potentially outweighing the economic profits stemming from offshore wind farm developments and ultimately resulting in a net welfare loss for the affected coastal region (Voltaire and Koutchade, 2020).…”

“…In that respect, various governments across the Baltic Sea region have included compensation mechanisms within their renewable energy system support policies. Furthermore, the "viewshed effect" of offshore wind energy may have a particularly acute economic impact on coastal touristic 1745 destinations, an observation corroborated across multiple case studies in Spain (Voltaire and Koutchade, 2020), US (Landry et al, 2012;Lilley et al, 2010;Parsons et al, 2020), France (Westerberg et al, 2013), and Denmark (Ladenburg and Dubgaard, 2007), among other jurisdictions.

“…Mariel et al, 2015. Other research examined their impacts on recreation and tourism using the CB method (Lilley et al, 2010), combined TC -CB method (Landry et al, 2012;Teisl et al, 2018 ;Parsons et al, 2019), contingent valuation method (McCartney, 2006), CE method (Ladenburg and Dubgaard, 2009;Landry et al, 2012;Westerberg et al, 2013;Lutzeyer et al, 2018) and a within-subject field experiment (Fooks et al, 2017). 2,3 There are also many empirical works on other external effects of wind power.…”

“…From their results it emerges (among other things) that OWF projects are seen as visual disamenities, as respondents commonly state that they would cause them to reduce the frequency of their trips. In the short term, however, these projects could attract some curious visitors (Landry et al, 2012;Parsons et al, 2019). 4 It is also inferred that the placement of turbines further offshore could limit their visual impacts, thereby mitigating potential trip loss.…”
