Tourism on two wheels: Patterns of motorcycle leisure in Wales

Abstract: The motorcycle leisure sector has evolved from a rebellious culture of the 1950s to a large mainstream market sector today. Motorcycle touring has grown significantly in recent years, with a shift to larger capacity motorcycles and an increase in the average age of motorcyclists. The demographics of this group has meant that, increasingly, motorcycles are used for leisure purposes rather than commuting.

“…There are a lot of research papers based on British tourism. The themes of British tourism mainly focus on tourist behavior, tourism demand, tourism impact and so on in recent years (see Thurnell-Read, 2012;Cater, 2017;Curtin, 2013; Jarvis, Weeden, & Simcock, 2010 among many others).

“…Para que esses resultados ocorram, ressalta-se a importância do aspecto mobilidade no turismo, que contempla o uso de diversos meios para o transporte das pessoas ao destino escolhido, entre os quais o automóvel, que é o veículo rodoviário preferido para viajar (MTur, 2017;Walker, 2010). Além deste, há também de se considerar a motocicleta que, apesar dos riscos envolvidos (Albritton & Stein, 2011;Australia, 2013;Cater, 2017;European Commision, 2016;Moraes, 2014;Price-Davies, 2011;Sykes & Kelly, 2016;Viegas, Mendes, & do Valle, 2015;Viljoen, Kruger, & Saayman, 2014;Weddell, 2014), é uma alternativa àqueles que estão em busca de novas sensações ao vivenciar novas emoções de liberdade, aventura e contato com a natureza (Albritton & Stein, 2011;Broughton & Walker, 2009;Cater, 2017;Caton & Santos, DOI: 10.14210/RTVA,v21,n2,p195-216 2007; Colarič-Jakše & Ambrož, 2015; Moraes, 2014;Price-Davies, 2011;Sykes & Kelly, 2014Viegas et al, 2015;Viljoen et al, 2014;Weddell, 2014).…”

“…Penelitian-penelitian terdahulu mengenai kendaraan bermotor fokus pada beberapa hal, antara lain model performa kendaraan dan efektifitas jalan (Vorobyov et al, 2016), dampak dan polusi kendaraan (Nesamani et al, 2017), wisata dengan sepeda motor (Cater, 2017), dan perilaku pengendara sepeda motor (Ohlhauser et al, 2011). Selain itu kajian EMP baik di Indonesia ataupun di luar negeri selama ini hanya mengukur efektifitas penyediaan infrastruktur jalan terhadap moda transportasi (Yeung et al, 2015;Putra, 2011;Saha et al, 2009;Al-Khaisy et al, 2002).…”
