以甘肃省兴隆山自然保护区为案例,用包含旅行时间价值的总旅行费用和游客实际旅行费的估算两种方法对游憩价值评估进行了分析。结果表明:用包含旅行时间价值的旅行费用评估的游憩价值要高于仅用游客实际旅行费用评估的游憩价值,两种技术路线用同种自变量在评估结果上则差别甚小。在评估过程中用增加的旅行费用与旅游人次的函数关系求得全体消费者剩余,进而求游憩价值的技术路线Ⅱ,则显示出简单、准确率高的优点。
Travel cost method was one of the scientific and feasible methods used-in evaluating the recreational benefit, but there were two techniques in practical application. It was also disputable about whether the travel cost concluded the travel time value or not. In this paper, Xinglongshan Mountain Nature Reserve in Gansu province was selected as an example in which the two techniques of total travel cost containing travel time value and tourists' practical travel cost were applied. The results showed that the recreational benefit evaluated by total travel cost containing travel time value was higher than that of only the tourists' practical travel cost. It also showed that the two techniques had little difference in evaluation results from the same independent variable. During evaluation, total consumer surplus using the functional relationship between increased travel cost and tourist times were obtained. Then the recreational benefit was obtained as well. Such a technique had the advantages of simplification and high accuracy.
