“…5 This demand function can be used to estimate the total benefits derived by visitors (usually expressed in terms of consumer surplus) and under certain assumptions extrapolated to the general population. Examples of the application of the method to value national parks include Beal (1995) and Liston-Heyes and Heyes (1999).…”

“…In this sense, it is clear that the measure of value calculated with the TCM is a measure of only the user value of the site. Examples of the application of the method to value national parks include Beal (1995) and Liston-Heyes and Heyes (1999).…”

“…In that case, the truncated negative binomial is in order. This model has been applied in several contributions to the literature during the last decade (Bowker et al 1996;Liston-Heyes and Heyes 1999;Zawacki and Bowker 2000;Shrestha et al 2002). Yen and Adamowicz (1993) Finally, and also because the data were obtained on-site, the sample is also endogenously stratified: each visitor's likelihood of being sampled is positively related to the number of trips they made to the site (e.g.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractOne of the basic assumptions of the travel cost method for recreational demand analysis is that the travel cost is always incurred for a single purpose recreational trip. Several studies have skirted around the issue with simplifying assumptions and dropping observations considered as non-conventional holiday-makers or as non-traditional visitors from the sample. The effect of such simplifications on the benefit estimates remains conjectural. Given the remoteness of notable recreational parks, multi-destination or multi-purpose trips are not uncommon. This paper examines the consequences of allocating travel costs to a recreational site when some trips were taken for purposes other than recreation and/or included visits to other recreational sites. Using a multi-purpose weighting approach on data from Gros Morne National Park, Canada, we conclude that a proper correction for multi-destination or multi-purpose trip is more of what is needed to avoid potential biases in the estimated effects of the price (travel-cost) variable and of the income variable in the trip generation equation.

“…Eboli and Mazzulla, 2008;Jim and Chen, 2007;and Freeman, 2003). The travel cost method is used to estimate users' benefits from visits to recreational sites (such as parks, beaches, and heritage sites) (Liston-Heyes and Heyes, 1999). Both these revealed preferences and the stated preferences are the basic approaches to non-market valuation that have been in use for decades.…”

Service quality, being an integral part of urban growth, has been a subject of interest to city transport planners. The provision of better quality public transport service is a challenge in the United Arab Emirates, as this country strives to meet the transport requirements fundamental to sustain the investment and economic as well as urban population growth exhibited over the last few years. United Arab Emirates Government intervention strategies include increasing share of public transportation and decreasing transport by private vehicles through bettering bus service delivery. Such shift of demand for public service requires not only understanding of people's willingness to use and pay for improved public transport services but also market incentives to pull-down personal vehicle ownership demand into public transport services. This study examines the willingness of United Arab Emirates residents to use and pay for improved public transport services. A contingent valuation survey is conducted on 852 representative sample of cross section of United Arab Emirates residents. Probit and Ordered logit models are used to analyze the survey data. The study has generated results with significant ramifications for policy. It suggests that there is the knowledge that residents, in general, are willing to use and pay higher fees for using public bus provided its service quality is improved. This has to provide reassurance to the Roads and Transport Authority who may be interested about the potential demand for improved public bus service. In order for the United Arab Emirates Government to increase the share of public transportation and decrease transport by private vehicles, effort will have to continue to improve the public bus service quality. In particular, marketing of such improved service will have to consider the residents' socioeconomic and demographic as well as some travel attributes.
