The importance of the study lies in the resulting environmental policy recommendations to make the Basaltic Prisms ecosystem economically sustainable by charging differential entrance fees to it. The methodology used was consumer segmentation with the two-step cluster analysis model. The main finding was the identification of three types of consumers, where low-income consumers have a greater willingness to pay for potential improvements in the park&#8217;s recreational services than those with a higher income. The results indicate that, among the three types of consumers, the income elasticity of the willingness to pay for potential improvements in the quality of recreational services is less than unity and greater than zero. That is, recreational services are a normal good. This result is relevant and consistent with those reported in other studies.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen El objetivo de la presente investigación fue estimar la elasticidad ingreso de la disposición a pagar de los consumidores de servicios ambientales proporcionados por el parque recreativo de los Prismas Basálticos de Huasca de Ocampo, Hidalgo. La importancia del estudio radica en las recomendaciones de política ambiental para hacer que el ecosistema de los Prismas Basálticos sea sustentable económicamente mediante el cobro diferencial de cuotas de entrada. La metodología utilizada fue la segmentación de los consumidores a partir del modelo de análisis de conglomerados en dos etapas. El principal resultado fue la identificación de tres tipos de consumidores, quienes los de menor ingreso tienen mayor disponibilidad a pagar por mejoras potenciales en los servicios recreativos del parque, mientras que los de mayores ingresos tienen menor disponibilidad a pagar. Los resultados indican que, en los tres tipos de consumidores, la elasticidad ingreso de la disponibilidad al pago por mejoras potenciales a la calidad de los servicios recreativos es menor que la unidad y mayor que cero; es decir, que los servicios recreativos son un bien normal. El resultado es relevante y consistente con los reportados en otras investigaciones.]]></p></abstract>
