“…This is in part because the toolkit currently provides valuation approaches for only five ecosystem service areas (Global climate regulation, water-related services, harvested wild goods, cultivated goods, and nature-based recreation) and in part because some forms of economic valuation within the toolkit are simplified versions of more complex and difficult valuation techniques. For example, simple measurements of expenditure on travel to a nature reserve and tourism spend at the nature reserve are used instead of more sophisticated revealed preference methods (Bateman et al 2011) such as the travel cost method (Bockstael and McConnell 2006; Samos Juarez and Bernabeu Canete 2013), resulting in more conservative valuations.…”

Restoration of degraded land is recognized by the international community as an important way of enhancing both biodiversity and ecosystem services, but more information is needed about its costs and benefits. In Cambridgeshire, U.K., a long-term initiative to convert drained, intensively farmed arable land to a wetland habitat mosaic is driven by a desire both to prevent biodiversity loss from the nationally important Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve (Wicken Fen NNR) and to increase the provision of ecosystem services. We evaluated the changes in ecosystem service delivery resulting from this land conversion, using a new Toolkit for Ecosystem Service Site-based Assessment (TESSA) to estimate biophysical and monetary values of ecosystem services provided by the restored wetland mosaic compared with the former arable land. Overall results suggest that restoration is associated with a net gain to society as a whole of $199 ha−1y−1, for a one-off investment in restoration of $2320 ha−1. Restoration has led to an estimated loss of arable production of $2040 ha−1y−1, but estimated gains of $671 ha−1y−1 in nature-based recreation, $120 ha−1y−1 from grazing, $48 ha−1y−1 from flood protection, and a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worth an estimated $72 ha−1y−1. Management costs have also declined by an estimated $1325 ha−1y−1. Despite uncertainties associated with all measured values and the conservative assumptions used, we conclude that there was a substantial gain to society as a whole from this land-use conversion. The beneficiaries also changed from local arable farmers under arable production to graziers, countryside users from towns and villages, and the global community, under restoration. We emphasize that the values reported here are not necessarily transferable to other sites.

“…Reconociendo los beneficios del uso que hacen los visitantes (Rossi et al, 2015;Pickering et al, 2018) se pueden generar ingresos económicos para las ANP y las comunidades locales (Balmford et al, 2015), pero también pueden tener impactos en el ambiente natural (Monz et al, 2013) si no se gestionan adecuadamente (Rossi et al, 2016). La investigación de los turistas (Eagles, 2014;Worboys et al, 2015) y el monitoreo de ellos (Newsome et al, 2012) pueden ayudar a reducir el riesgo de impactos ambientales (Samos & Bernabeu, 2013;Santos et al, 2016), al monitorear las amenazas y gestionar la conservación (Worboys et al, 2015;Laurila-Pant et al, 2015). Pickering et al (2018), revisaron 758 resúmenes de conferencias efectuadas en Europa sobre monitoreo y gestión de visitantes en ANP, desde 2002 al 2014, donde consignan estudios sobre recreación y turismo (64 %), senderismo (20 %), ciclismo de montaña (9 %), esquí (4 %) y acampada (3 %), predominando los estudios de Europa 73,0 %, Estados Unidos 6,7 %, Asia 9,1 %, Australia y Nueva Zelanda 6,1 %, y otros 3,3 %, resaltando brechas de investigación entre países ricos y países en desarrollo (Pasgaard & Strange., 2013), el predominio del idioma inglés (Hamel, 2007;Muresan & Pérez-Llantada., 2014), el interés de impactos en el paisaje y en metodologías SIG (Pickering et al, 2018), pero no se aborda explícitamente decisiones de elección de visita a un ANP considerando la biodiversidad como atributo, que es el aporte de este estudio.…”

“…La valoración económica cuantifica el valor monetario que la sociedad le atribuye a los bienes y servicios que contribuyen a su bienestar (Pearce, 1993;Del Saz & Pérez, 1999;Cerda, 2013). Sus metodologías tienen base en: Valores de mercado para bienes y servicios que tienen precios (Lomas et al, 2005); Preferencias reveladas que miden el valor de uso de bienes y servicios a través de mercados relacionados (García de la Fuente, & Colina, 2004;Samos & Bernabeu, 2013); Preferencias declaradas que miden el valor de uso y no uso de bienes y servicios que no tienen mercado, a través de cambios en mercados hipotéticos (MINAM, 2016).…”

<div data-canvas-width="450.13143999999994">The aim was to determine the importance of the biodiversity on the decision to visit six Natural Parks of Peru. For this, a sample of tourists and the discrete travel cost model are used to estimate the demand of multiple places with different attributes. The results confirm that the probability of choice depends on the access routes, the biodiversity, the distance, and the cost of the trip. The effect of the biodiversity is less important than that of access routes. A conservation policy that considers these attributes will be key for the management of the biodiversity.</div>

Economic Valuation of Mining Heritage from a Recreational Approach: Application to the Case of El Soplao Cave in Spain (Geosite UR004)

Abstract:Heritage tourism can increase incomes and stimulate the economy in former mining areas. Recreational tourism is one of the main sources of value of heritage. People from urban areas are willing to pay for access to these tourism options. The measurement of the economic impact of this availability is one of the main problems to confront, due to the immeasurable possibilities of heritage resources. The use of non-market values and their estimation by means of revealed preference methods should help to assess the economic value of this sort of resources from a recreational perspective. The travel cost method (TCM) is widely used to value areas with recreational uses, such as lakes, beaches or forests, but there are not references to previous applications of this methodology in the field of mining heritage. In this work, TCM has been applied to obtain the economic value of El Soplao Cave (Geosite UR004, Cantabria, Spain) as a recreational site, providing an estimated result of 34,961,162 euros.
