Abstract

The methodology for social assessment of tourism projects is a guide designed to simply outline investment projects, according to what economists call marginal social productivity of the resources required by tourism projects. This assessment serves as a complement to the private & social assessment of projects, made according to Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) criteria. The hierarchization of tourism projects by applying productivity coefficients to private & social assessment enables one to opt for projects having the best impacts on society at large, and this is particularly valuable in emerging countries lacking development resources and willing to apply investment-programming policies.
