The recreational-use value of hiking in the Bellenden Ker National Park, Australia has been estimated using a zonal travel cost model. Multiple destination visitors have been accounted for by converting visitors' own ordinal ranking of the various sites visited to numerical weights, using an expected-value approach. The value of hiking and camping in this national park was found to be dollar AUS 250,825 per year, or dollar AUS 144,45 per visitor per year, which is similar to findings from other studies valuing recreational benefits. The management of the park can use these estimates when considering the introduction of a system of user pays fees. In addition, they might be important when decisions need to be made about the allocation of resources for maintenance or upgrade of tracks and facilities.
澳大利亚贝伦登克尔国家公园徒步旅行的休闲使用价值已通过区域旅行成本模型进行估算。通过使用期望值方法，将游客对所参观的各个地点的自身序数排名转换为数值权重，从而考虑了多目的地游客。该国家公园徒步旅行和露营的价值被发现为每年250,825澳元，即每位游客每年144.45澳元，这与其他评估休闲效益的研究结果相似。公园管理层在考虑引入用户付费系统时可以使用这些估算值。此外，在需要就步道和设施的维护或升级资源分配做出决策时，这些估算值可能也很重要。
