Recreational benefits from a marine protected area: A travel cost analysis of Lundy
چکیده انگلیسی

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been proposed in many countries as a means of conserving parts of the marine environment. In some cases, MPAs may also confer recreational benefits. In this paper, a travel cost model is used to estimate the non-market recreational benefits arising from the Lundy Island Marine Nature Reserve (MNR). The estimated mean consumer surplus for visiting Lundy was found to range from £359 to £574 per trip. The designation of No Take Zone (NTZ) has also contributed to higher consumer surplus values. This result provides a strong economic justification for the designation of MPAs for recreational as well as conservation purposes.


► This study highlights the benefits of tourism from the designation of an MPA.
► A travel cost model was estimated using count data regression techniques.
► The estimated mean consumer surplus was found to range from £359 to £574 per trip.
