| Abstract: | This work documents policy inferences from valuation studies carried on
nature-based tourism in Namibia. It is found that nature-based tourism in
Namibia is not optimally priced and that significant resource rents do exists.
Thus efforts are needed to ensure that Namibia’s natural assets are priced
optimally and that the resource rents are captured. In capturing the resource
rents, a combination of methods (user fees, indirect taxation schemes and
environmental voluntary funds) should be pursued. Pricing policies adopted
should at best reflect the costs of providing the environmental good/service. |
