RESUMO

The main objective of this work was to develop an environmental valuation study of Serra do Mar State Park - Núcleo Santa Virgínia. The journey cost approach (MCV), was utilized to validate arguments for the preservation and recuperation of the Atlantic Forest and to estimulate sustainable forms of tourism in the Park area. Beyond that, the present work focused in developing knowledge do out the profile of Park visitors regarding several factors varied, such as: age, marital status, education, monthly income, origin, frequency of visits, time of permanence, and total costs of journey. For This research 181 tests were applied between the months January and July of 2009. The profile of interviewed visitors showed that: 55% were male, the predominate age group was 26 to 40 years old (86,6%); and the majority hold high education degree (91,2%). Most of interviewed visitors (67%) had as main objective of their journey to visit this Park and 75,6% of visitors were visiting the Park for the first time. The Park - Núcleo Santa Virgínia provides visitors an stimulated consumer excess in the order of R$ 4.496,82 and, as a result, the agregated recreational value of the Park was estimated in R$ 13.490.462,33 per year or US$ 7.331.772,40 per year. This amount was obtained, based on an average of 3000 visitis/year, which was the average of the previous four years in the Park. Results also indicated that visitors are seeking a closer contact with natural attractions and are willing to pay for that, reaffirming the premise that the higher the preservation level of an area, the higher the environmental value. This scenario leads generate direct and indirect benefits for visitors and local population, including socio-economic benefits, such as the generation of income profits, and new jobs.
