      abstract = {An economic study on willingness to pay by general  recreationists’ who visited
Basavana Betta State Forest,  Karnataka, India, for water recreation revealed that  average
WTP for conservation of the forest ecosystem, based  on the double bounded
dichotomous contingent valuation  method, was Rs. 846 ($17.63) per visitor as  onetime
payment. On the contrary WTP of recreationists of a  well developed recreation spot
(resort) was higher at Rs.  2367 (US$ 49.31) per visitor. There was a negative  relationship
between the bid amount and WTP and a positive  relationship between income and WTP
in both the cases.},
