This paper assesses hikers’ preferences for improved health walk on the Accra-Aburi Mountains walkway in Ghana adopting the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). We used questionnaires to collate data from hikers on the Accra-Aburi Mountains walkway. We employed a random sampling technique to select400 hikers that visited the site. We admit that a larger sample size would have been better but the sample size of 400 used was enough to find the results of WTP for improved health walk of hikers in 2020. The questionnaire was distributed to the hikers through faceto-face interviews elicitation method. The Conventional Payment Card (CPC) method is employed to elicit preferences from hikers in order to determine the mean and the median willingness to pay (WTP) for an improved health walk. The values from the interval regression analyses reveal that hikers on the average are prepared to pay GH0.90 ($0.2) per trip and a median value of GH0.70 ($0.16) per trip for improved health walk. Demographic features such as age, education, household size, distance to site and mode of transportation determine WTP for improved health walk. Out of these variables, only distance to site declines with their WTP for improved health walk.We recommend to the government to revise their budgets and policies for the demographic features of the hikers since they arethe key determinants of the hikers’ WTP for improved health walk. Finally, we suggest to the government to use the valuation values to determine the economic viability of health walk improvement programmes in Ghana since hikers’ preferences are now obvious.
