摘要
The identification and management of tourism's actual and perceived social impacts in destination communities has recently received significant attention. Research has enhanced the understanding of these impacts and their incorporation into tourism policy, The contingent valuation (CV) method is presented as a technique for furthering this understanding and incorporation. By measuring selected social impacts in an economic metric, CV facilitates benefit-cost analysis of mitigation projects and contributes to integrated analysis of tourism's diverse impacts. Results from a CV application in Oregon (USA) communities indicate a mean annual household willingness-to-pay of $110 (policy model) to $186 (commodity model) to reduce tourism-related traffic congestion. Results for mitigation of noise and provision of low-income housing are also presented. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
