The aim of this paper is to estimate the recreational use value of a protected area in the south of Spain, Sierra de Maria-Los Vélez Natural Park in Almeria, using the zonal travel cost method. The estimated consumer surplus ranges from € 7.67 to € 13.29 per person, according to the proposed scenario taking into account travel time as a cost or as an enjoyment. Finally, some conclusions are presented, as well as some strategies to promote the recreational use of the Park and to improve its future management.

The One

In Whitehead (1992), I proposed a one-step method of estimating recreational use values. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify several points made in the original paper and correct some mathematical errors. The criticisms raise three major issues that should be addressed: the theoretical construct of use value, diminishing marginal utility, and empirical specification. Before I address the criticisms I would like to emphasize that the one-step, recreation-participation method is not viewed as superior to the two-step, travel-cost method or any of its extensions. The method is a means of obtaining order of magnitude use-value estimates if the travel-cost method can not be implemented. To re-state one of the conclusions: “The one-step method is a useful, low-cost substitute for two-step travel cost models when research budgets are limited (Whitehead, 1992 p. 118).” This notion was underemphasized in the original paper.

Abstract Many studies have estimated demand functions for visits to recreation sites. Several included commonly defined recreation-based areas such as beaches, parks, lakes and rivers, but excluded examination of horticulturally significant sites such as botanic gardens and arboreta. This study estimates user-demand and consumer surplus for visits to the University of Tennessee Arboretum by the travel cost method. Results suggest that travel cost and income of consumers are important determinants of demand, at least in the case of visits to the University of Tennessee Arboretum, and that consumer-use value may be derived from this demand. Consumer-use value is estimated to be $20.43 per person.

 ABSTRAK Pantai Sigandu merupakan objek wisata alam yang sangat potensial. Keberadaan Pantai Sigandu mampu membantu perekonomian daerah Kabupaten Batang. Mengingat pentingnya keberadaan objek wisata tersebut maka diperlukan suatu kajian yang mampu mengestimasi besarnya nilai ekonomi dari kegiatan wisata di Pantai Sigandu, serta menganalisa kesesuaian wisata pantai untuk rekreasi agar dapat digunakan dalam pengembangan dan pengelolaan objek wisata tersebut. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Desember 2018 - Januari 2019 dengan bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil dan tipologi wisatawan; menghitung nilai ekonomi pariwisata berdasarkan Travel Cost Method (TCM); dan menganalisa kesesuaian wisata berdasarkan Indeks Kesesuaian Wisata (IKW). Penelitian ini bersifat kuantitatif, dengan metode pengambilan data primer menggunakan teknik wawancara terhadap 100 wisatawan, dengan bantuan kuisioner serta melakukan sampling lapangan untuk analisis kesesuaian wisata. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik wisatawan memiliki kisaran usia 20-40 tahun dengan tingkat pendidikan SMA/SMK. Nilai ekonomi yang diperoleh berdasarkan metode biaya perjalanan atau TCM di Pantai Sigandu yaitu sebesar Rp. 31.038.289.140,00 per tahun dengan biaya rata-rata sebesar Rp. 120.140,00 per individu. Nilai Indeks Kesesuaian Wisata (IKW) Pantai Sigandu termasuk dalam kategori sangat sesuai (S1) yaitu tidak memiliki faktor pembatas dalam suatu penggunaan tertentu secara lestari, atau hanya memiliki pembatas yang kurang berarti dan tidak berpengaruh secara nyata. ABSTRACT Sigandu Beach is a potential natural tourism object. The existence of Sigandu Beach is able to increase the economy of the Batang Regency. The existence of a tourism object is important, so it is needed a study to estimate the tourism economic value of Pantai Sigandu, as well as to analyze the suitability of coastal tourism for recreation so that it can be used in development and management of this tourism object. This study was conducted in December 2018 - January 2019. It aims to find out the profile and typology of tourists; to calculate the economic value of tourism based on Travel Cost Method (TCM); and to analyze tourist suitability based on the Tourism Suitability Index. This study is a quantitative with a primary data method use a interview technique for 100 tourist with the help of questionnaires and do measures of the field for Tourism Suitability Analysis. Results of the study show that characteristics of tourist respondents have an age range of 20-40 years old with high school/ vocational education level. The economic value was obtained based on TCM in the Sigandu Beach, which is Rp. 31,038,289,140.00 per year with an average cost of Rp. 120,140.00 per individual. The Tourism Suitability Index value in the Sigandu Beach is included in the very appropriate category (S1), it does not have a limiting factor in a particular use sustainably, or it only has a less significant limitation and does not have a significant effect.
