“…The application of the individual travel cost method enables us to capture effects of the environmental attributes of summer houses and environmental quality, on the demand for summer house trips and on the recreation value of a trip. Shrestha et al (2007) and Englin and Moeltner (2004), among others, applied the travel cost method in a similar way. In conventional travel cost analyses, environmental quality and other site attributes cannot be included in the analysis of a single site (Whitehead et al 2000).…”

We use Finnish data to estimate the extent of the recreation benefits obtained from visits to second homes. Special emphasis is placed on how environmental attributes of second homes influence the recreation value of visits. The impacts are valued using the travel cost method. We estimate the recreation value to be about approximately e170-205 per trip. The aggregate non-market benefits of the use of the current summer home stock are considerable -approximately e500 million per annum. The presence of algae that prevent aquatic recreation decreases the value per trip by 40%, and the lack of a beach reduces it by 45%; electrification increases the value by 3-5%. These impacts should be balanced against the social costs of second homes when designing environmental policies on leisure-time housing.

“…Moreover, depending on the climate change scenario, they estimate an increase in recreational visits from 9.9% to 13.6% in 2020. Snow dependent activities are the focus of a study by Englin and Moeltner (2004). Using data on price, weekly conditions at ski resorts and the participant's income they find that although demand increases as snow amount increases, trip demand is more responsive to changes in price.…”

“…Early studies found that precipitation and temperature affects beach recreation activities (McConnell 1977;Silberman and Klock 1988). More recently, Englin and Moeltner (2004) found that temperature and precipitation affect the number of skiing and snowboarding days in expected ways.…”

In this paper we develop estimates of the economic effects of sea level rise on marine recreational shore fishing in North Carolina, USA. The relationship between angler behavior and spatial differences in beach width is estimated using the Marine Recreational Fishing Statistics Survey and geospatial data. We exploit the empirical relationship between beach width and fishing site choice by simulating the effects of sea level rise on angler site choice. We find that reductions in beach width negatively affect the quality and number of fishing trips even as anglers adapt by using piers and bridges. Welfare losses are potentially substantial, ranging up 39% of the total value of marine shore fishing in North Carolina.
