This thesis is a study of tourism demand and supply with the objective of revealing the optimal management of resources used in tourism. The first part investigates consumer preferences with respect to nature-based tourism together with a study of the manner in which tourists’ experiences impact on non-market valuations. The second part describes an efficiency evaluation of the hotel industry which focuses on the impact of eco-friendly practices on hotel operations. The analytical techniques used include discrete choice modelling, structural choice modelling and data envelopment analysis. The findings contribute to the important goal of creating a sustainable tourism industry in Sri Lanka and similar destinations
