“…While the System of National Accounts (SNA) is the international accounting standard, developed and developing countries, as well as supranational institutions, have made important advances with the view to helping this system become a more effective tool in policy making (OECD, 2004;Bos, 2013). There has, therefore, been an increasing interest in scientific and political arenas for extending national accounts to ecosystem services that are not recorded by the SNA but are essential for human well-being (Stiglitz et al, 2009).…”

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. The Mesoamerican Reef contains the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. However, its health is threatened, so there is a need for a management and sustainable conservation. Key to this is knowing the economic value of the ecosystem. “Mainstreaming the value of natural capital into policy decision-making is vital” The value of environmental and natural resources reflects what society is willing to pay for a good or service or to conserve natural resources. Conventional economic approaches tended to view value only in terms of the willingness to pay for raw materials and physical products generated for human production and consumption (e.g. fish, mining materials, pharmaceutical products, etc.). As recognition of the potential negative impacts of human activity on the environment became more widespread, economists began to understand that people might also be willing to pay for other reasons beyond the own current use of the service (e.g. to protect coral reefs from degradation or to know that coral reefs will remain intact in the future). As a result of this debate, Total Economic Value (TEV) became the most widely used and commonly accepted framework for classifying economic benefits of ecosystems and for trying to integrate them into decision-making. This report estimates the economic value of the following goods and services provided by the MAR's coral reefs: Tourism & Recreation, Fisheries, Shoreline protection. To our knowledge, the inclusion of non-use values in the economic valuation of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System is novel, which makes the study more comprehensive.

The availability of timely and reliable information about the processes taking place in the tourism sector is a prerequisite for the organization of effective management in the corresponding area. The application of the integrated assessment methodology proposed in this work allows to analyze the impact of the tourism industry on the economic performance of the region. The resulting indicators are of great practical importance, as they help to set up the analysis procedures not only for the enterprises engaged in the direct tourist services, but also for the enterprises engaged in the related and indirect industries. The scientific significance of the work is attached to the attempts to develop a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the tourism industry as well as to determine the significance of tourism activities in terms of their direct and indirect influence on the gross regional product of Primorsky Krai. The practical significance of the study lies in the analysis of the actual indicators of the tourism industry of Primorsky Krai.
