| description | The central theme of this study is economic valuation of ecological function values through ecologic
al attributes and biophysical indicators; as predicted in the strategic plan 2011-2015 of Department of Marine Park Malaysia(DMPM). So that, visitors of Perhentian Island Marine Park (PIMP) held for these attributes. Applying non
-market valuation technique i.e. choice modelling stated preference technique has been pursued to ach
ieve this objective.
The total collected data consist of 380 Questionn
aires that have been completed by visitors through a
face-to-face interview in two main islands. Results of Multinomial Logit Models indicated that
greatest visitors’ preference for difference attribute levels was respectively for coral cover and water qua
lity improvement in the highest level. This e
conomic valuation can provide invaluable support to the conservation efforts in direction of
maintenance biodiversity to stockholders including policymakers and tour operators.
