The travel cost model is the standard model used in the recreation demand literature. This model assumes that the … decision is dependent on the realization of random variables on previous trips as well as travel costs. A model is developed in …-specific variables and variables realized on previous trips. This models advantage over the traditional travel cost model is that it …
