- Hargreaves-Allen, V. writes: “A previous and simple exploration of visitor WTP for whale shark trips at the Gladden Spit reserve (Rachel Graham) helped to influence the decision to raise entrance fees for whale shark trips (personal communication, Gladden Spit Marine Reserve Manager, Belize). A recent valuation study (by V. Hargreaves-Allen) will also be used to lobby the government department to let the reserve keep some or all of the entrance fees collected. By having a valuation exercise, they can make a case that the reserve is producing tangible benefits and is therefore a good investment. In addition, the visitor WTP study is being used to convince local tour operators that fees can be increased.”
