Abstract

The Marine Nature Tourism Park (Taman Wisata Alam Laut, TWAL) of the Maumere Gulf Island Cluster is a region characterized by its hihgly potential coral reef ecosystem. However, a significant portion of the coral reefs has been degraded due to marine tourism activities and destructive practices. To mitigate further extensive damage, this study conducted an economic valuation employing the Effect on Production and Travel Cost Method approaches. The research was carried out between August and October 2024 across several locations within the TWAL area. Utilizing a survey methodology, data were collected from 37 fishers and 40 marine tourists. The findings reveal that the economic value of capture fisheries activities amounts to IDR 8,070,197,832.83 anually, while the economic value of marine tourism activities reaches IDR 12,469,160,122,602 per year. Consequently, the combined total economic value of these activities is IDR 12,477,230,320,435.
