This paper focuses on the economic evaluation of the recreational use of Barcola seafront in Trieste (Italy). Within the EU DELOS (2000) framework a contingent valuation survey in the value of enjoyment version was carried out in order to estimate the gain for a project of building a new artificial beach on the Barcola seafront. The project satisfies sustainable tourism development. Evaluation questions not only about the beach use in spring/summer but also in autumn/winter were included in the questionnaire. The survey results show that the beach use value changes for different seasons. In addition, the hypothetical new beach would attract new visitors.
