“…As a display preference method based on field survey data, TCM derives many analysis models according to the types of destinations and travel cost measurement methods, such as the zonal travel cost model (ZTCM) [58], the individual travel cost model (ITCM) [59], the gravitational travel cost model (GTCM) [60], the hedonic travel cost model (HTCM) [61], the random utility model (RUM) [62], and travel cost interval analysis (TCIA) [63]. These methods are widely used in the value assessment of natural and cultural heritage [39]. For a more intuitive and comprehensive presentation of the consumer's willingness to pay, the use of CVM for the calculation of non-use values has gradually increased.…”

“…Thus, explicit preference and declarative preference to measure the use and non-use values of resources allow to finally obtain the overall economic value of resources [30]. TCM and CVM, as the two most widely used evaluation methods in academic circles [31], have been used to measure forest resources [32,33], natural reserves [34][35][36], cultural heritage [37][38][39], coastal recreational areas [40,41], and other resource values. These methods have played an important role in the conservation of natural resources and the perception of cultural resource values.…”

Recent soundscape research is notable owing to the increasing demand for “multisensory” tourism experiences. However, the traditional economic value assessment of tourism destinations mostly takes each type of landscape as a whole for measurement, and it has been challenging to separate the soundscape from the whole landscape. Therefore, research on the economic value of soundscapes is still lacking. This study chose the characteristic soundscape of the Qiantang River tide as the research object, and tried to apply the pairwise comparison method to calculate the separation coefficient of the soundscape from the overall landscape. The results showed that the separation coefficient of the soundscape was 0.138 and the economic value of the Qiantang River tide soundscape was between CNY 315.145 million (USD 48.7 million) and CNY 333.841 million CNY (USD 51.6 million). Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the separation methods, the differences in willingness to pay between the interviewees, and the sustainable use of the natural soundscape resources in tourism destinations.

“…The CS was calculated Rs 17,857 per day, while the net benefit per individual visit was estimated at Rs 238. Voltaire et al (2016) used a zonal TCM and estimated the value of recreational trips to a coastal site in France. They highlighted the potential effects on CS and concluded that people were willing to pay a socially acceptable amount of money for its preservation, which in turn would increase the welfare of people.…”

PurposeA wetland is a place of tourist attraction, and tourism values play a key role in economic development. Among various services provided by a wetland, recreational services are increasingly valuable in the tourism sector. This paper aims to unfold the potential recreational values of the Dal Lake in Jammu and Kashmir, India.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses individual travel cost methods (TCMs) and assesses its impact on regional development in terms of income and employment generation. A sample of 200 tourists is selected through an on-site survey on Dal Lake, and the demand for recreational visits and its value is estimated by employing the truncated Poisson regression model (TPRM) and un-truncated Poisson regression model (UTPRM). The consumers' surplus is estimated and tourists' benefit to visiting the wetland is explored.FindingsOn average, estimated consumers' surplus per visitor is Rs 6,250 (US$96.15) and Rs 25,000 (US$384.61) from respective models. The annual total recreational value of the lake is accounted for Rs 1713m (US$ 26m). This high consumer surplus (CS) and recreational values of the lake indicate large demand for its recreational facilities.Originality/valueThe study is based on primary data and thus, is original. The paper has implications for the policymakers to formulate sustainable management plans for the proper use of Dal Lake and tourism development.

“…Dans ce cas, il est nécessaire d'utiliser un facteur d'attribution des dépenses, estimé à partir des enquêtes. Le problème est le même que dans le cas de déplacement multi-destination, multi-motivation pour appliquer la méthode des coûts de transport (MARTÍNEZ-ESPIÑEIRA and AMOAKO-TUFFOUR, 2009;VOLTAIRE et al, 2017). Les motivations de la clientèle se concentrent sur la visite de la criée combinée à la visite du centre.…”

The question addressed in this article focuses on the conditions for strengthening the territorial character of tourist attractions around a fishing port with a strong identity. In the face of the depletion of resources, the territories dependent on the exploitation of living marine resources try reconversions during the 1990s, especially towards tourism. The article is based on the fishing port of Guilvinec on which has been created an exhibition center for a large audience. The survey methodology is mobilized to delimit the territory on which the fishing activities and the exhibition center are attractive. An estimate of the expenses incurred by visitors is proposed. The tourist's consumption of the exhibition center and fisheries is in line with the basket of goods model. Résume La question abordée dans cet article porte sur le caractère territorial des attractions touristiques autour d'un port de pêche à forte identité. Face à l'épuisement des ressources, les territoires dépendants de l'exploitation des ressources marines vivantes tentent au cours des années 1990 des diversifications d'activité, notamment vers le tourisme. L'article retient le cas d'étude du port de pêche du Guilvinec sur lequel est implanté depuis 2000 un centre de découverte destiné à attirer une clientèle touristique. La méthodologie d'enquête est mobilisée pour délimiter le territoire sur lequel s'exerce une attractivité des activités de pêche et du centre de découverte. Une estimation des dépenses engagées par les visiteurs sur ce même territoire est proposée. Le modèle du panier de biens est adapté dans l'étude du comportement de la clientèle touristique. En effet, le centre de découverte offre une combinaison de biens au choix des visiteurs, avec un fort ancrage territorial.
