example
Using an example from the Bavarian Forest National Park , the meaning and calculation of income equivalents should be clarified.
The following parameters are required for the calculation:
- Population of the Bavarian Forest national park region: 32,617
- Total national income: 469.3 million euros
- Added value by visitors to the national park: 13,508,000 euros
The first two indicators result in an average income of 14,387 euros.
Now the average income of 14,387 and the added value of 13,508,000 euros are used in the calculation:
€ 13,508,000 / € 14,387 = 938.9.
As a result, the income of around 939 people depends on tourism in the Bavarian Forest National Park.
