Cultural ecosystem services (CES) play a crucial role in sustainable development, yet research on the mechanisms of CES value realization and its influencing factors remains limited, particularly in understanding how ecological, transportation, and marketing elements interact to create value. This study employs Travel Cost Interval Analysis (TCIA) combined with statistical analyses including Kruskal-Wallis tests and ANOVA to evaluate CES value realization patterns and their driving factors. The research draws on survey data from 18 scenic areas in Lishui City, China, collecting 1,624 valid responses across natural, agricultural, and cultural attractions. Results reveal that Lishui's total CES value reached CNY 37.93 billion in 2019, with significant variations across different scenic types. Cultural areas show higher direct consumption but lower total CES value, while agricultural areas demonstrate superior total value realization despite lower immediate returns. Only high-level (Level 4) transportation and ecological factors significantly enhance CES value realization, while marketing strategies show optimal effectiveness at Level 3. These findings provide valuable insights for sustainable tourism development and ecosystem management. They suggest the need for integrated optimization strategies rather than isolated improvements, emphasizing the importance of threshold effects in infrastructure development and the potential of value-added strategies in agricultural tourism.
