Abstract

There is a long tradition in environmental economics of using visits to outdoor recreation sites to value environmental goods. Recreation demand (or travel cost) models combine data on trips individuals make to recreation destinations with imputed travel costs and attributes of recreation sites to estimate demand functions for site visits. These functions are used to value access to recreation resources or changes in environmental conditions at recreation destinations. Travel cost studies are ubiquitous, with results supporting benefit-cost analyses, natural resource damage assessments, public lands management decisions, and other policy contexts.
