“…Although less researched, significant behavioral differences have also been recorded between domestic and international tourists. Evidence indicates that domestic tourists have different travel motivations compared to international tourists [7,8], as well as varying destination image perceptions [9], information search behavior and source preferences when trip-planning [10], recreational and shopping choices [11][12][13][14][15], service expectations [16,17], and degrees of destination loyalty and satisfaction [18]. The greater distances traveled by international tourists, including often-increased holiday length, are thought to be key factors that influence this behavioral difference from domestic visitors [13,15,[19][20][21][22].…”

Abstract:Coastal tourism is the largest segment of global leisure tourism and it is firmly linked to the destination's natural resources-with climatic resources chief among them. Through observations and survey responses of beach users, studies have evaluated climatic resources for coastal tourism by quantifying optimal and unacceptable conditions. However, these studies have not taken into consideration that different forms of holidays (e.g., daytrips, short trips, main annual holiday, "once-in-a-lifetime" trip) may have varying degrees of resilience to climatic conditions. This is the first study to explore whether ideal and unacceptable climatic conditions vary between domestic and international tourists. Using an in situ survey, Canadian beach users traveling domestically (n = 359) and internationally (n = 120) were examined. Key findings include statistically significant differences (p ď 0.05) between the two sample groups for every climate variable, with the international sample more resilient to a broader range of weather conditions, including a greater acceptance for warm temperatures, longer rainfall durations, higher wind speeds, and greater cloud cover. This study adds further insight into the complexities of evaluating climate for tourism, with implications for the demand response of tourists to climate change.

“…Tourists first of all choose a destination and only then make a decision about accommodation and other services (Lickorish and Jenkins, 1997;Ortega and Rodriguez, 2007). Therefore, the impact the image of the destination has on the customer is considered significant in the consumer"s decision-making process (Batista and Huan, 2014).…”

“…In the tourism context, cross-cultural differences affect the perception of service quality (Espinoza, 1999), travel service (Crotts & Erdmann, 2000), information search (Gursoy & Chen, 2000;Ortega & Rodriguez, 2007) and holiday satisfaction (Master & Prideaux, 2000). Besides, cross-cultural differences also influence host and guest interactions (Reisinger & Turner, 1997;Reisinger & Turner, 1998;Thyne, Lawson & Todd, 2006), the perceived impact of political instability on tourism (Seddighi, Nuttall & Theocharous, 2001) and hostel customers (Yuksel, Kilinc & Yuksel, 2006).…”

A Comparison between Asian and Australasia Backpackers Using Cultural Consensus AnalysisCody AbstractThis study tests the differences in the shared understanding of the backpacker cultural domain between two groups: backpackers from Australasia and backpackers from Asian countries. A total of 256 backpackers responded to a questionnaire administered in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Krabi Province (Thailand). Cultural consensus analysis (CCA) guided the data analysis, to identify the shared values and the differences in the backpacker culture of the two groups. The findings revealed that while the two groups share some of the backpacker cultural values, some other values are distinctively different from one another. The study provides the first empirical evidence of the differences in backpacking culture between the two groups using CCA. Based on the study findings, we propose some marketing and managerial implications.
