Policy implications of willingness to pay for sustainable development of a world agricultural heritage site
The willingness to pay (WTP) for preservation of a Globally Important Agricultural System, Jeju Batdom, South Korea is estimated. To help control for hypothetical bias, two scenarios are used, hypothetical and real settings. Further, this study investigates how the concepts of sustainable intelligence, residents' support, and behavioral intention affect WTP in addition to demographic variables. Finally, three types of preservation values (bequest…

Willingness-to-pay for whale tour attributes using a choice experiment
Individual’s preferences for various whale tour attributes along with estimates of their willingness-to-pay (WTP) for these attributes are estimated using a choice experiment. Respondents prefer tours with increased interactive activities: tours with a higher probability of seeing whales, tours that provide interpretative services and tours that provide access to the whale museum and whale cultural village. WTP for changes in the probability of s…
Estimating the economic impact of a mega-event on host and neighbouring regions
Although mega-events impact the host region, as well as, neighbouring regions, geographical distribution of the economic impact of mega-events is mostly neglected in the literature. To address this gap, this study estimated the economic impact of the Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea (BIE International Expo) on the host and neighbouring regions using a regional input–output model. Results indicate that visitors to the Yeosu Expo spent US$388 million in the h…
