According to the main tourism factors mentioned in the master plan, Nahavand town is located in the second tourism district of the province. Many different natural and cultural attractions are located in Nahavand, while tourist attractions in Sarab-e Giyan forest are mainly of ecotourism kind (natural-environmental).
This promenade is located in south Nahavand city among crowded villages and it attracts large number of tourists from the city, province and even neighboring provinces. It should be noted that Giyan historical hill is also located near the forest and Sarab-e Giyan, which according to archeologist excavation had a culture similar to Mesopotamia in 5700 year ago.
The present article seeks to determine factors influencing visitor’s willingness to pay for visiting the forest and Nahavand Sarab-e Giyan and estimate its economic-promenade valuation according to CVM analytic method.
In this article, conditional valuation method (CVM) was used for estimating economic-promenade valuation of the forest and Nahavand Sarab-e Giyan. This method tries to determine visitor’s willingness to pay (WTP) in different scenarios of the assumed market.
