“…Attempt has been made to measure the perception of risks like health, political instability, war, terrorism, food, religion based intolerance, cross cultural differences and crimes among tourists classified under gender, travel experience and tourist role categories (Lepp & Gibson 2003). It is important to distinguish constraints from the perception of risk, though the effect might be same (Chen, Chen & Okumus 2013). …”

Purpose -The existing literature has accepted the view that the destination image can be explained by the motivation theory. According to this theory the destination image can be explained by either the internal motivation of tourists or the external motivation originating from the destination. The purpose of this paper is to critically review the literature to build an appropriate research framework for understanding the formation of destination image by international tourists. Design, Methodology and Approach -The literature pertaining to destination image till recently can be divided into three evolutionary stages with stage boundaries marked by the seminal reviews by Echtner & Ritchie in 1991 and by Pike in 2002. The two main focuses of the destination image research are -measurement and theory of the destination image. The evolution of measurement and theory is reviewed, in this conceptual paper, through these stages justifying the proposed new research framework. Findings -The existing theories do not take in to account some of the modern variables such as perceived risks of travel and the power of social networks that fuel word of mouth. Originality of Research -All the conceptual discussions and views are original.

The purpose is to develop a model of consumer behavior in international sport tourism that examines both pre-and post-consumption factors in international sport tourism. A secondary purpose is to address international visitation by introducing national culture as an important component of the model. The proposed model suggests that certain cultural characteristics influence an international sport tourist and these cultural characteristics impact both motivation and travel constraints. Motivation also has a direct relationship to travel

“…Furthermore, this scale can be useful in developing policies and strategies for accessible tourism. In addition, because understanding these constraints is critical to tourism planning and marketing, tourism destinations should develop and implement strategies to overcome perceived constraints (Chen et al, 2012).…”

In Spain, more than 2.5 million people live with some form of disability (Imserso, 2014). Tourism constraints are defined as factors influencing travel participation and behaviour, and can be divided into three categories: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural. The aim of this exploratory study is to develop and validate a measurement scale for each of these types of tourism constraints faced by 248 Spanish tourists with disabilities. The results show that intrapersonal constraints are due to three factors: lack of knowledge, health-related problems, and physical and psychological dependency. Interpersonal constraints are divided into two factors: skill-challenge incongruities and communication. Structural constraints are classified into four factors: information and communication, cost and attendant, socio-spatial, and attitudinal. Taking into consideration the importance of this market segment both in Spain and all over the world, this study provides tourism destinations with a quantitative tool for evaluating the barriers tourists with special access needs may encounter at a destination. Keywords: accessible tourism; tourism for all; disability; barriers Resumen. Barreras turísticas para turistas españoles con discapacidad: desarrollo y validación de una escalaEn España, más de 2,5 millones de personas viven con algún tipo de discapacidad (Imserso, 2014). Las barreras turísticas se pueden definir como factores que influencian la participación y el comportamiento de los turistas y se dividen en tres categorías: intrapersonales, interpersonales y estructurales. El objetivo de este estudio exploratorio es desarrollar y validar una escala para medir los tipos de barreras que 248 turistas españoles con algún tipo de discapacidad deben afrontar cuando viajan. Los resultados muestran que de las barreras intrapersonales derivan tres factores distintos: falta de conocimiento, problemas de salud y dependencia física y psicológica. Las barreras interpersonales se dividen en dos factores: incongruencias entre habilidad y reto, y comunicación. Las barreras estructurales se clasifican en cuatro factores: información y comunicación, coste y cuidador, socio-espaciales, y de actitud. Teniendo en cuenta la importancia de este segmento de mercado en España y el resto del mundo, el artículo aporta una herramienta cuantitativa para que los destinos turísticos puedan evaluar las barreras turísticas que estos turistas con necesidades especiales de accesibilidad pueden encontrar cuando los visitan. Palabras clave: turismo accesible; turismo para todos; discapacidad; barreras Résumé.
