Question

In relation to an evaluation of a natural park you have collected data on the visitors, and obtained
data for the travel costs and their zones of origin, i.e. basic data needed when applying the Travel
Cost Method.
All visitors come by car and there’s only one person in each car. There are four different zones (I
close, and IV most far away) and the total cost per person is given in the table below.

Give a short explanation of the TCM.

Would it be possible to do a reasonable TCM analysis from these data?

Zone Travel cost per person
($)
Total population in
each zone
Annual number of
visitors from each
zone
I 10 4000 400
II 15 3000 250
III 20 3500 410
IV 25 4000 450
