- The economic benefits of whale watching in El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve, Mexico Ludger Brenner Marius Mayer Claudia Stadler Economía y Finanzas Whale watching Economic valuation Biosphere reserves This paper attempts to determine the economic value generated by whale watching at El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve/Lower California. Based on a representative sample survey, the analysis focuses on identifying specific visitor segments, their respective spending patterns, and the service sectors that profit. Results highlight that visitor spending generates a considerable gross turnover of just under $ 3,000,000 USD, benefitting mostly local tourism businesses. In order to increase the economic benefits of whale watching as a means of fostering sustainable regional economic development, it is crucial to focus tourism planning and marketing tools on well-defined visitor segments to satisfy their specific needs and expectations. 2016 artículo científico 1405-8421 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=11145317006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=111 Economía, Sociedad y Territorio application/pdf El Colegio Mexiquense, A.C.
