Synergy and orientation of "tourist wtp - wta community" in the dimension of conservation economic growth of tourist destination resources

Abstract

The concept of ecotourism is a form of management of tourist destinations that prioritizes the preservation of tourism resources, both physical and social culture of the local community. Conservation-oriented activities will guarantee an optimal life cycle and utilization time than oriented towards economic growth. Government and businessmen are the components that play a direct role in controlling the orientation and suitability of the Tourism Willingness to Pay (WTP) with the community’s Willingness to Accept (WTA). The analytical instruments models to synergize and orient travelers WTPs and WTA communities, with the support of government and business actors. This instrument includes the acquisition of data on tourists, the local community, the government and businessmen. The data is formulated in the form of WTP and WTA vectors in the conservation-economic growth coordinate system. The activity orientation tendency is determined by the angle between the WTP and WTA vectors against abscissa (conservation axis) and ordinate (axis of economic growth). Input WTP and WTA vector data into the life cycle of a tourist destination will determine the time to achieve optimal utilization of destination resources. This instrument was developed for the analysis and control of the management of tourist destinations. It can be adapted for the management of other resources that confront the interests of certain parties (such as entrepreneurs) with the local community.
