| description | Research on the economic valuation of temples or religious heritage is scarce and, at the same time, extremely necessary, given the growing importance of religious tourism in certain territories with significant static competitive advantages that can be economically exploited. This article quantifies the economic value of the Sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Las Lajas, Colombia, declared of national cultural interest by the Ministry of Culture in 2006, by adapting and applying travel cost and contingent valuation methods, as well as Poisson, logit, and probit regression models to estimate the probabilities of visiting the temple and the willingness to pay of religious consumers (WTP). The probability of visiting the Sanctuary is explained by the WTP and the visitor's postgraduate education and, in turn, the WTP is determined by the final consumption expenditure, the number of visits made and the salaried status of the tourist. The logit and probit regressions predict a highly significant payment probability of 97.5%. |

Las investigaciones de valoración económica de templos o patrimonio religioso son escasas y, a la vez, sumamente necesarias, dada la importancia creciente del turismo religioso en ciertos territorios con apreciables ventajas competitivas estáticas susceptibles de explotación económica. En este artículo se cuantifica el valor económico del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Las Lajas, Colombia (declarado bien de interés cultural nacional por el Ministerio de Cultura en 2006), mediante la adaptación y aplicación de los métodos de costo de viaje y valoración contingente, así como modelos de regresión de Poisson, logit y probit en la estimación de las probabilidades de visitar el templo y la voluntad de pago de los consumidores religiosos (DAP). La probabilidad de visitar el Santuario es explicada por la DAP y la formación posgradual del visitante y, a su vez, la DAP es determinada por el gasto en consumo final, el número de visitas realizadas y la condición de asalariado del turista. Las regresiones logit y probit predicen una probabilidad de pago muy significativa de 97.5 %.
