Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze how the characteristics
of the environment associated with agricultural activities influence the prices of rural tourism accommodation. To this end the model of hedonic prices is applied, which allows to break down the price of a good or service depending on the characteristics that it entails, including those of its environment. The study is carried out in the autonomous community of Asturias. The results indicate that the market values positively accommodation establishments located in municipalities with a high percentage of forests and pastureland, and negatively those located in municipalities with a high percentage of cultivated land. The study serves as a starting point for cost-benefit analysis of the policies aimed to promote activities that will improve the rural environment. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cómo las características del
entorno medioambiental asociadas a actividades agrícolas influyen en los precios de los alojamientos de turismo rural. Para ello se aplica el modelo de precios hedónicos, que permite descomponer el precio de un bien o servicio en función de las características que lo forman, incluyendo las de su entorno. El estudio se realiza en la comunidad autónoma de Asturias. Los resultados indican que el mercado
valora positivamente alojamientos situados en municipios con alto porcentaje de bosques y praderías, y negativamente los situados en municipios con alto porcentaje de tierra cultivada. El trabajo sirve de punto de partida para realizar análisis coste-beneficio de las políticas encaminadas a favorecer actividades que mejoren el entorno medioambiental rural.
