TAILIEUCHUNG - THE ECO-TOURISM VALUE OF NATIONAL PARK: A CASE STUDY FROM THE PHILIPPINES

National parks or generally protected areas (PAs) normally hold a high value as a recreational resource or destination. Though in many cases no fee or charge is made to view or enjoy natural ecosystems, people still spend time and money to reach PAs. These costs of spending (for transport, food, accommodation, time, etc.) can be calculated, and a visitation rates can be compared to expenditures. These travel costs reveals the value that people place on recreational, tourism or leisure aspects of PAs | THE ECO-TOURISM VALUE OF NATIONAL PARK A CASE STUDY FROM THE PHILIPPINES Gladys M. Navarro1 Eleanor D. Paca Carlo Rimas ABSTRACT National parks or generally protected areas PAs normally hold a high value as a recreational resource or destination. Though in many cases no fee or charge is made to view or enjoy natural ecosystems people still spend time and money to reach PAs. These costs of spending for transport food accommodation time etc. can be calculated and a visitation rates can be compared to expenditures. These travel costs reveals the value that people place on recreational tourism or leisure aspects of PAs. The aim of this paper is to estimate the value of the recreational benefits from Mt. Pulag National Park MPNP of Cordillera Administrative Region CAR Philippines. The valuation uses the individual travel cost method ITCM which estimates the value of a non-market good like recreation. The linear recreational demand for Mt. Pulag is estimated as r where r stands for the number of days intended to stay in Mt. Pulag and tc represents the travel cost per day. The estimated aggregate consumer surplus and the recreational value of MPNP year 2007 were valued at P47 062 and P56 335 respectively. Greater market values are generated from off-site expenses than from on-site expenses. If taxes were collected the host municipality would have earned P million. The value of MPNP is important in terms of its contribution to the market economy. These values can determine that marketing of eco-tourism for Mt. Pulag and can be used to generate efficient tourism tax collection and other fees . green fee or user s fee to improve management for Mt. Pulag. The result of the study can be significant to future researchers where issues of conservation and policy options are concerned. 1 Gladys M. Navarro is the Study Leader of this paper.
