This paper combines the travel cost method (TCM) with contingent behavior questions to estimate domestic visitors’ use values for cultural heritage sites in Armenia, a transition economy in which conservation of cultural monuments is hampered by limited resources. Respondents intercepted at...

In the face of higher travel costs due to rising gasoline prices and scarce budget resources, we explored differences in the impacts of travel costs on recreational demand for visitors participating in various recreational activities. Five individual travel cost models were estimated, one for...

This paper investigates the empirical identification of perceived congestion and mitigating behavior using observational data. Congestion effects are identified using a procedure based upon a nonlinear function of the choice attributes combined with an equilibrium condition on the sorting...

To be best prepared for tomorrow's cities we need to forecast urban travel demand. To this end, this study calibrates an urban travel demand model, which uses the principal structural variables that have been identified in the literature. It uses a robust econometric method, which has been...

This study via a travel cost model estimates the likelihood to revisit South Tyrol s Museum of Archaeology, best known as the Ötzi museum, in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano(Italy). The purpose of this investigation is to analyse in what measure this museum may be regarded as a potential...

We combine currently popular count data methods with earlier work by Vaughan and Russell on varying parameter travel cost models to model trip demand and calculate consumer surplus. We test and reject the hypothesis that per trip consumer surplus from guided rafting is invariant to river...

The objective of this study is to analyse the potential impact of climate change on EU tourism demand and to provide long-term (2100) scenarios to be used in the general equilibrium GEM-E3 to allow for potential interactions with the rest of the economy. The analysis is based on a bottom-up...
