Abstract:
Evaluating the recreation value of a forest park is increasingly important for understanding its
operation benefit and asset management of its resources. Based on the TCM, the recreational value of the
Fuzhou National Forest Park was evaluated. Totally 200 questionnaires were distributed, and the returned
valid questionnaires were 190. After calculation and estimation, the conclusions were as such: the travel
cost per capita was 258.29 RMB Yuan, the surplus per capita was 14.68 RMB Yuan, and the recreation
value of the Fuzhou National Forest Park in 2016 was about 1.297 billion RMB Yuan. In addition, the
relationship between travel cost and the social and economic characteristics of tourists were analyzed, and
we found that family's income significantly resulted in the positive impact on travel cost.
