“…Longer stays suppose that tourists could visit more places, and it could increase their probability to use public transport. However, in some cases it has been reported an increasing of the use of private car for longer stays [51,52]. Repeating a stay on the Costa Daurada also increased the probability of the tourist using PT.…”

Abstract:Of all the activities associated with tourism, transport is the one that creates most pollution. However, the mobility of tourists at their destination is an activity that has so far received very little attention from researchers in comparison with that afforded to the transport mode used to travel from their point of origin to their destination. This paper provides new evidence about the use of public transport by tourists at their final destination. The study is based on data obtained from a survey conducted with tourists (N = 4336) on the Costa Daurada (Catalonia), a Mediterranean sun and beach resort. The empirical analysis is based on estimations made using a multinomial model of the transport mode chosen by tourists to travel to the Costa Daurada combined with another model that estimated the probability of them using public transport during their stay. The results show that the tourists who arrived by private car were the ones who least used public transport at the destination. This was despite the fact that these tourists had the profile that made them most likely to use this type of transportation. On the other hand, although the tourists who arrived by plane had the profile that made them least likely to use public transport, they were the ones who used it most. It is, therefore, possible to conclude that, in addition to tourist profile, another key factor in deciding whether tourists will use public transport at their destination is whether they will take their own car.

“…Each Type of Trip represents an option that then leads to a particular 'cascade' of decision-making (Moore, Smallman, Wilson, & Simmons, 2012). Most tourism products are challenged by the intangible and perishable nature of services versus other products (Kurata & Bonifield, 2007).…”

Gender differences are critical in consumer behavior theory. As the purchase risks, the intangibility and perishability of travel products exceed those of other products, the overseas travel decision-making behavior differs from general consumer decision-making fundamentally. This study clarifies whether the thesis of gender differences offers an appropriate explanation of tourist hesitation and the justifiability of destination decisions. Based on multiple regression analysis of data from 443 tourists at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, gender differences did not significantly influence on tourist hesitation and the justifiability of destination decisions after controlling other possible influences. Comprehensive management implications for travel agents are discussed.

“…In the passive man model, the traveler has low selfawareness; his or her travel decision-making is inluenced by commercials or other stimuli. Subjective intentions are extremely low and constrained by political, economic, social, cultural, and other structural factors [22,23].…”

After graduation, most graduates ind themselves at a signiicant stage in their life as they have to decide between "further study" and "working." When faced with this confusion and uncertainty, a "working holiday" combining travel and work has coincidentally becomes a third option. This study employed a qualitative approach through literature review, in-depth interviews, and semi-structured interviews. The research revealed that graduates are inluenced by "internal personal thinking" and "external driving forces" when they embark on a working holiday. The former includes negative obstructions and positive stimulus. The later factor's stimulus includes atraction of natural landscapes, history and culture, learning foreign languages, safety concerns, diiculties in visa application, and the opportunity to obtain a salaried job. The process of embarking on a working holiday was complex and unpredictable. The traveling behavior of working holiday destinations included short-distance leisure behavior and long-distance traveling behavior. In terms of the inluences of short-distance leisure behavior, graduates preferred being employed by service industries that had less working hours, lexible work arrangements and included the purchase of preferential price tickets. Graduates' long-distance traveling behavior was afected by the work they performed. The travel time was diferent between various industries.
