“…Destination and vacation attributes are causes of tourist benefits (Evans & Chon, 1989;Goodrich, 1978;Sarigöllü & Huang, 2005). Benefits tourists seek are an important factor of destination choice (Lang et al 1997;Lehto et al 2002) and also affect different tourist movement patterns within destinations (Lau & McKercher, 2006).…”

Abstract. This study assesses tourist preferences for summer package vacation benefits. The purpose of this paper is to classify summer package tourists based on preferred benefits they seek from their vacation. Analysis of preferences for benefits sought is done by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). A sample of 850 respondents was interviewed by telephone in order to reveal their preferences. In order to reveal the grouping of tourists according to their preferred benefits, a two-step cluster analysis has been applied using the log-likelihood measure, while the number of clusters has been determined using Schwarz's Bayesian Criterion. Four segments have been identified based on the benefits sought: variety seekers, package-centrics, comfortseekers and safety seekers. This research showed that fuzzy AHP could be used not just for understanding of tourist preferences, but also as a base for segmentation. This is a first attempt to apply fuzzy AHP for that purpose in tourism.

RESUMENLa imagen de un destino turístico influye en gran medida sobre el proceso de decisión de compra por parte del turista. Entender el proceso de formación de dicha imagen y comprender la importancia de las dimensiones que la integran ha sido uno de los temas más investigados en materia turística. El presente estudio trata de analizar la imagen percibida de la ciudad de Granada por un grupo de turistas cuya motivación principal es aprender la lengua española. Se han examinado las respuestas que dieron a un cuestionario una muestra compuesta por 209 estudiantes, con una media de edad de 21.71 años, del Centro de Lenguas Modernas (de ahora en adelante, CLM) dependiente de la Universidad de Granada. Los datos recopilados se han analizado mediante Anova y método Clúster.

Determining beach management has to be carefully studied, surveyed, analyzed and considered (UNWTO, 1994).…”
