Abstract

The contingent valuation method (CVM) is important for evaluating tourism related resources. The accuracy of the results was determined by WTP (or WTA) and population range. For CVM, improving the accuracy of WTP (or WTA) was the main research topic from home and abroad, but related studies on extended method of population range were few. In abroad, the population range on evaluation of tourism related resources was extended to users, households in or nearby the areas where tourism related resources located. The domestic population range was extended to users, residents or employees in the areas where tourism related resources located, or related residents or employees in the whole country. All these methods had some defects. According to the survey samples' information, extended methods of non-users and users population range were put forward. The non-users' population range was based on tourism related resources attention degree coefficient, which was represented by relative travel rate. The users' population range was based on tourist numbers. The paper conducts an empirical analysis by the extended methods, which evaluate non-use value of tourism resources of Putuo golden triangle in Zhoushan city in the base year 2008. The result reveals that: the non-use value of tourism resources of Putuo golden triangle is 345.83×106 yuan RMB in 2008. The contribution of domestic non-users, domestic users, and foreign users were 159.21×106, 184.17×106 and 2.45×106 yuan RMB respectively. The result is more reasonable than the others which evaluated by the existed domestic and foreign extended methods.
