Thus an effort to find a way of preventing such pollution and preserving the busy tourist areas for future generations is currently a hot topic of environmental policy. The aim of the thesis is to estimate the recreational demand for cross-country skiing in this area with the by using the travel cost method, single-site model. The theoretical part pays attention to the history and development of used methods and the individual characteristics that may affect the model. The practical part contains an analysis of the data, which is based on a questionnaire survey in the area, and estimate of the recreational demand by using the Poisson and negative binomial-regression analysis. |
