1 Assessing the economic impacts of nature-based tourism Donal McCarthy & Paul Morling Natura People Workshop April 2014
2 Workshop Overview Today, we are going to consider simple ways to assess the economic benefits associated with nature-based tourism. Tourism can benefit local economies through increased economic activity/output, income, and employment. The basic assessment process involves collecting information on tourist expenditure and expenditure patterns via visitor surveys.
3 Workshop Outline 1. Brief introduction to the benefits of naturebased tourism and recreation, and economic assessment methods 2. Group Exercises 3. Discussion
4 Nature-based tourism and Natura 2000 Natura 2000 sites represent environmental settings where people can interact with nature and are an important visitor/tourist attraction: Up to 2 billion visits each year Visitor expenditure of up to 100 billion (BIO Intelligence Service, 2011) 26%of holidaymakers in the EU state that their main reason for going on holidays is to visit nature, whilst almost a third (32%) of EU citizens regard environmental attractiveness as the key consideration when choosing a holiday destination (Source: Eurobarometer). Wide range of benefits associated with nature-based recreation and tourism: Educational benefits Health and Well-being benefits Cultural and Spiritual benefits
5 Many of these benefits are non-market (i.e. their value is not reflected in market prices) and so can be assessed using economic valuation techniques A literature review of existing studies conducted in the EU regarding the price visitors are willing to pay to enjoy the recreational benefits of nature areas found that, per day, visitors were willing to pay up to 10, depending on the country (BIO Intelligence Services, 2011)
6 Local Economic Impacts Today, we are going to focus on assessing the local economic impacts associated naturebased tourism at the site-scale. Why? Help to justify expenditure of public funds on site management Help to attract additional funding through government grants etc. Economic Impacts supported by visitor expenditure in term of: Income Employment (FTE Jobs) Based on visitor survey data and a simple set of methods. Key pieces of information required: Number of visits each year Types of visitor (day-trippers vs. holiday-makers) and length of stay How much visitors spend when they visit and what they spend it on How important the site was in attracting visitors to the area
7 Natural Foundations A study conducted in 2011 found that the RSPB network of over 200 nature reserves attracts 2 million visitors each year, supports almost 2000 full-time equivalent (FTE) local jobs, and attracts 66 million into surrounding communities. Tourism spending responsible for the majority of the local economic impacts (>55% of the total number of jobs). Of the 10 case study sites, the number of local jobs supported ranged from 9 to 132. Although sites in remote locations supported fewer visitors, many are found in areas with limited economic opportunities and so can be particularly valuable in a context where limited employment opportunities exist.
8 Before we begin... The first step is specify clearly the objective(s) of the assessment/ the purpose of carrying out the assessment. You need to be clear on what are you trying to achieve. Key questions: Who are you trying to influence (e.g. who is the target audience?) Local business partnerships, local community groups, regional development agencies and other funding bodies, decision-makers (e.g. planning officers, politicians, etc.) What is the biodiversity conservation issue at this site? What argument do you want to make at this site? What policy issues do you want to address?
9 A. Number of Visits (Annual) Unless information is already available, organise staff or volunteers to conduct a visitor census Count visitor numbers at key focal points e.g. site entrances/exits Be sure to avoid double counting Counts should be conducted on each of a reasonably large and representative sample of days throughout a year (e.g. to account for seasonal variation in visitor numbers)
10 Wildlife at Work In 2010, the RSPB conducted a study to estimate the local economic impacts associated with the presence of a charismatic species (White-tailed Eagle) on a small Scottish island. A key part of this study involved conducting visitor surveys over a period of 8-weeks to assess visitors motivations for visiting the island and the amount of money that they were likely to spend during their stay on the island. In order to work out the total economic impacts, we used existing data collected by the private ferry company that brings visitors to the island. The website of the ferry company provided data on the total number of passengers carried by the company each year. However, as this figure included return journeys, it was divided by two. Adjustments were also made for the fact that some of the trips simply involve island residents travelling back and forth between the mainland. The final, conservative, estimate of the total number of annual visits was 350,000.
11 B. Visitor Questionnaire Visitor Type Divide visitors into three main types: Local visitors Day-trippers Holiday-makers
12 Attributability importance of the site in attracting visitors to the area/in the decision to visit: Not all visitor spending can be said to be additional or directly related to the site; visitors may be motivated to come to an area for a variety of reasons We need to understand the extent to which visitors decisions to visit the area were motivated/influenced by presence of the study site in the area. Therefore, we ask whether the site was a main reason for visiting the site or one of the reasons for visiting the area? Depending on the answer, different proportions of reported expenditure can be attributed to the site (90% or 30%). Money spent by visitors from the local area should not be counted as it cannot be considered additional.
13 Example: Total annual expenditure by visitors to a national park is estimated to be 500, % of visitors state that the site was their main reason for visiting the area. The other 50% say that it was not one of their reasons for visiting the area. Assuming that 90% of expenditure by those visitors who say it was their main reason can be attributed to the site, the expenditure that can be attributed to the site is calculated as follows: = 0.5 x 0.9 x 500,000 = 225,0000 (i.e. 45% of total expenditure)
14 C. Calculating Economic Impacts First, calculate total attributable expenditure. This involves calculating average expenditure per person (by visitor type) and adjusting based on the degree of attributabiltiy. Then, using information on visitor numbers, total attributable expenditure can be calculated. Second, economic impacts (income and employment) can be calculated using multipliers. Multiplier effects are the knock-on (indirect and induced) economic effects associated with direct visitor expenditure as it flows through the local economy (e.g. due to inter-industry linkages). The amount of local income generated by a unit of visitor spending is known as the tourism income multiplier. For example, an income multiplier of 1.25 means that every 1 of spending in the local economy by visitors to the site generates 1.25 of local income.
15
16 Site Financing: Capturing Economic Benefits Evidence suggests there are considerable unmet financing needs for conserving biodiversity in the EU. Gantioler et al. (2010) estimate the total cost of effectively managing the Natura 2000 network is at least 6 billion per year over the period ( 63 per hectare) How can some of the economic benefits associated with Natura 2000 sites can be captured and maximised in order to provide additional sources of funding? Alongside EU funds, there are also a range of innovative financing mechanisms that might be useful in seeking to attract private financing. Discussion: In your groups, discuss the range of funds available for nature reserve management in terms of sources of funding and types of funding. What are the opportunities/ barriers associated with taking advantage of additional sources and types of funding, particularly in relation to nature-based tourism? Hint: A key question to consider is who is currently benefitting from the services provided by the site and how might these beneficiaries pay for the benefits they currently receive for free?
17 Financing mechanisms and nature-based tourism Examples: User fees (e.g. entrance fees, licences and permits etc.) and tourism levies Management Agreements (e.g. PES schemes) Business Funding/Sponsorship Labelling and Marketing Initiatives
18 Tourism User Fees Tourism User Fees e.g. entrance fees, concession fees, licences and permits etc. are a simple and well-established financing mechanism. Some scope for additional funding : a number of studies have shown that visitors are often willing to pay much more than they are charged; fees are often much lower than the value that visitors place on their recreational experiences However, there are issues with user fees. Charging schemes may be expensive to administer and there are a range of potential barriers (social, economic, political). Types of Tourism User Fees in Protected Areas (PAs) Fee type Description Examples Entrance fees Charge for entering a PA. Fees collected at entry gates. Concession fees General user fees Royalties and sales revenue Licenses and permits Taxes Charges or shares of revenue paid by businesses operating within PAs, providing services to visitors. Fees paid by visitors to use facilities within the PA. Monies from sales of consumer goods. Instruments required for private firms (or individuals) to conduct activities on PA property. Targeted taxes on relevant points on the market chain related to the tourism industry, earmarked for conservation. Fees to operate restaurants, hotels, eco-lodge facilities and souvenir shops. Fees to use parking lots, campsites, visitor centers, boats, shelters. Fees on recreational equipment, souvenirs. Permits for tour operators and guides for scuba/snorkel, kayaking, sport fishing; mountain climbing/hiking permits; licenses for cruise ship visits. Taxes on hotel rooms, airport use (entry or departure tax).
19 Visitor Payback Sites rarely capture the full economic benefits generated by tourism; many of the benefits accrue to local tourism-related businesses outside the site. One way of potentially capturing some of these benefits is to develop payback schemes in partnership with those local business who benefit. Visitor payback schemes involve voluntary donations/contributions from visitors to help conserve the places that they visit. Typically, such schemes involve working in partnership with local business networks to create ways for visitors/tourists and tourism-related businesses to donate to conservation. Tourism businesses involved in visitor payback schemes not only benefit through actively helping to conserve areas in which their business success depends, but also improve their own public image by projecting concern for the local environment. In the UK, there are several schemes in operation. The visitor giving scheme Nurture Lakeland that has operated in Cumbria, North-west England, for almost 20 years has generated almost 2 million to support conservation in the region. The scheme currently generates over 100,000 per year via its tourism business partners. However, there are high administrative costs inv0lved.
20 The RSPB is the UK s largest nature conservation charity, inspiring everyone to give nature a home. The RSPB is part of BirdLife International, a partnership of nature conservation organisations working to give nature a home around the world.
