Abstract

Los experimentos de elección constituyen a una herramienta poderosa para la construcción de escenarios hipotéticos que permitan identificar la utilidad que les genera a los usuarios potenciales la utilización de los bienes y servicios ambientales. En el presente trabajo se identifica el valor que los turistas potenciales de las ciudades de Bogotá, Medellín y Cali les asignan a los atributos medio ambientales asociados con la pesca deportiva, los recorridos por manglar y el avistamiento de ballenas, actividades que se desarrollan en el golfo de Tribugá (Chocó). En el estudio se aplicaron dos métodos de estimación diferentes, obteniéndose dos medidas de valor económico: con base en el método de valoración contingente (VC) de $276.081.466 anual y por el método de experimentos de elección (EE) de $188.930.000 anual. La disponibilidad a pagar marginal promedio por visita que estarían dispuestos a realizar los visitantes es de $1.850 y $1.296 para VC y EE, respectivamente. Estos hallazgos resultan importantes, debido a que es la primera valoración realizada en esta región, la cual servirá de insumo para la elaboración de estrategias para la generación de ingresos como estrategia de sostenibilidad financiera de un área marina protegida. ****** Choice experiments are a powerful tool for building hypothetical scenarios identifying the utility of potential users provided by the use of environmental goods and services. This paper is aimed at calculating the value that potential tourists, from the cities of Bogotá, Medellin and Cali, assign to environmental attributes related to recreational fishing, mangrove tours and whale watching activities taking place in the Gulf of Tribugá-Chocó. In order to carry out this study, we applied two different estimation methods, The Contingent Valuation (CV) which generated an average annual Willingness to Pay (WTP) of $276.081.466 for potential visitors and the Choice Experiments method (CE) with an annual value of $188.930.000. The marginal average annual WTP per visit was of $ 1.850 and $ 1.296 for CV and CE, respectively. These results are important because they are part of the first estimated economic valuation in this region, which will also serve as inputs for the development of strategies for income generation as a strategy on financial sustainability of a marine protected area.
