“…Thus, their existential quest to retrace roots influenced their personal experiences and subsequent valuation of the sites, confirming Fennell's (1996) characterization that special interest tourists moved more extensively through the destination, pursuing their interest, than those with general motivations.…”

“…Pearce and Lee (2005) studied how motivations change for individuals over travel careers, including relaxation, safety, relationships, self development, and self-actualization. Fennell (1996) undertook perhaps the most extensive study of combined activity motivation based on spatial patterns as well as level of interest. He identified travelers with a variety of spatial combinations of activities along with a variety of specialization in activities.…”

“…Individuals primarily select destinations based on what leisure activities are available as well as their perceived image of these activities. Their involvement can, in turn, impact other travelers' perceived destination image, environment and social character (Fennell, 1996). As such, planners need to understand what activities (or combinations of activities) tourists are interested in, so that they can inform the development of regions accordingly.…”

As long-distance leisure travel has shifted to being broader and more of an amalgam of different activity types, it has become critical for planners to understand what combinations of activities individuals will most likely participate in during a leisure trip. Accordingly, this study models travelers' participation in any combination of eight leisure trip activities. The analysis utilizes activity participation data from a tourist exit survey collected from the Northwest Territories in Canada. A Multivariate Binary Probit model system, with correlation across every pair of leisure activities, is estimated using a Composite Marginal Likelihood method. The empirical analysis results emphasize that travelers often combine specific sets of leisure activities together during tourism travel. However, which sets of activities get paired together depends greatly on travelers' experience, travel companions, and individual concerns.

“…However, the empirical studies on this topic are limited to a few pioneering studies (see Lau and McKercher 2007;Mings and McHugh 1992;Wu and Carson 2008). Although the importance of knowing travel itineraries has been recognized for a long time (Leiper, 1989;Dietvorst, 1995;Fennell, 1996), relatively few studies have made an attempt to model spatial movements among several destinations and within the same destination. The main reasons for this lack are attributable to both the difficulties associated with the collection of information on multi-destination trips (Lew and McKercher, 2002), and on the lack of clarity on what is meant by "multi-destination" trip.…”

Multi-Destination Trips and Tourism Statistics: Empirical Evidences in Sicily

The knowledge of the actual magnitude and main features of tourism flows in a given destination is an essential prerequisite for the evaluation of tourism impacts and externalities. Indeed, many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit to more than a single destination. Although the topic is well-documented in literature, the empirical results are limited to a few pioneering studies. The lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviour. This can be seen, for example, in the system of European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 95/57 EC), where information on the average number of visited destinations within a single trip is not provided. This paper aims at discussing the main implications of multi-destination trips, both on tourism statistics and on destination management. It also proposes to describe the research design and main preliminary results of a survey on incoming tourism in Sicily. Some remarks dealing with the positive and negative impacts of unobserved tourism and of multi-destination trips are reported at the end. Special Issue Tourism ExternalitiesJEL L83, C83
