The principle aim of the research was to quantify the extent to which visitors value Tentsmuir NNR for recreation activities and use this evidence to contest against continual resource deprecation, primarily when it comes to government budget allocation. This was achieved through the use of an established enviro-economic technique termed the Travel Cost Method. The method assumes that time and money spent on visitation can act as a proxy for value, thus showing environmental sites to contribute towards the economy of a state and therefore should be protected when economic decisions are made.
