Destination diversification as an indicator of activity compatibility: An exploratory analysis

Exploring Online Sales Promotions in the Hospitality Industry

“…These people are characterized by their significant expertise, in that they carefully plan their purchasing behavior (Fesenmaier & Lieber, 1988;Danziger, Israeli, & Bekerman, 2004) and are often heavy adopters of sales promotions and especially of extra points. Also, Urbany (2000) established a positive impact of market mavenism on information search behaviors and cognitive activities.…”

Multidestination Pleasure Travel Patterns: Empirical Evidence from the American Travel Survey

“…However, from a variety-seeking perspective, people tend to take a multidestination trip to satisfy various benefits that are often hard to be achieved in a single destination (Lue, Crompton, and Fesenmaier 1993;Tideswell and Faulkner 1999). Heterogeneity of preference (Fesenmaier and Lieber 1988;Lue, Crompton, and Fesenmaier 1993) provides a potential explanation for multiple benefit seeking at the group level (Tideswell and Faulkner 1999). The major focus of this viewpoint is on the diversity of the benefits sought and thus suggests that multidestination travel becomes more prevalent when one travels with more people with different purposes (i.e., Tideswell and Faulkner 1999).…”

“…A considerable amount of research has focused attention on multidestination travel (Fesenmaier and Lieber 1988;Lue, Crompton, and Fesenmaier 1993;Lue, Crompton, and Stewart 1996;Oppermann 1995;Papatheodorou 2000;Stewart and Vogt 1997;Tideswell and Faulkner 1999). A series of early studies by Hensher (1976), Wall (1978), and Hanson (1980) and, more recently, by Stewart and Vogt (1997), Tideswell and Faulkner (1999), and Lue, Crompton, and Fesenmaier (1993) have shown that multidestination travel is prevalent in leisure travel and requires modeling approaches different from those used for single-destination travel.…”

Evidence of Cumulative Attraction in Multidestination Recreational Trip Decisions

“…is that a variety of destinations will be incorporated into the trip. Second, people traveling together, whether in a small family unit or in a larger tour group, are likely to seek different benefits from a trip and these may be best met by a variety of destinations in the same area (Fesenmaier and Lieber 1988). Third, the presence of a number of secondary destinations in an area may be perceived by individuals to reduce their uncertainty and level of risk.…”
