Kenting National Park is also a nature museum that offers conservation, research and environmental education. It is getting popular an important leisure spot for the public. There are abundant diverse resources in Kenting National Park, provided with warm weather, the beautiful landscape, and particularly a convenient accessible transportation. It attracts yearly 4,000,000 tourists to visit this wonderful nature with exciting and memorable experience. However, it brings the recreational impact to the regional resources and environment as well: traffic, trash, waste-water, and inappropriate recreation behavior. Ecotourism planning could compromise those conflict problems in the development and management of tourism. The present study estimates the WTP of tourists by Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and Travel Cost Method (TCM). |
