基于省内外游客的沙漠旅游景区生态系统存在价值研究——以宁夏沙坡头景区为例

Existence Value of the Ecosystem of the Desert Tourism Regions Based on CVM:A Case Study of Shapotou of China

对旅游景区所依赖的生态系统的存在价值进行评估,是目前旅游地理学与生态学交叉学科的重要研究内容。本研究以宁夏沙坡头为案例,基于条件价值法(CVM)思路,通过获取游客支付意愿(WTP)的途径,对近些年正在兴起的沙漠旅游景区所依存的荒漠生态系统存在价值进行评估,并尝试探求景区省内外游客支付意愿的差别,最后计算景区总存在价值量。本研究结果可为景区生态系统保护提供理论依据和管理参考。

This research gives an appraisal of the existence value of the ecosystem of the desert tourism regions, which is a hot topic in the inter-disciplinary studies of tourism geography and ecolo- gy. This research is a case study of Shapotou in Ningxia of China by using the methods of CVM and WTP and analyzes the differences between the local tourists from Ningxia and those from other prov- inces. Finally, the research gives the total existence value of the ecosystem of Shapotou, which should have some theoretical and practical significance for the eco-protection of the tourism regions.
