You have been commissioned to estimate the demand curve for admission to Lake
Saint- Michel, a recreational fishing site in France. To do this, you spend a day
surveying visitor to the site.
You divide the area around the site into 3 zones. You ask each person you interview
where they come from. Based on that information, and figures on annual attendance
at the park, you are able to calculate the annual number of visitors from each zone.
Your data are shown below.
For each zone, the total travel cost
1 euro per person for each kilometer traveled
to and from the site.
