This study attempts to do exactly this by conducting a CV survey of a preservation program for a World Heritage 
site (WHS), My Son in Vietnam, and then use the estimated benefits for visitors to develop a optimal entrance fee 
scheme that maximize revenues for the site. The adoption of this optimal price regime would both increase revenuesa

project, and show how the outcome can be used to
justify investments in preservation of. this WHS
