Tourism in changing natural environments
Natural environments and the human interactions that occur within, are continuously changing and evolving. However, increasingly, the impacts of climate change, natural and man-made disasters, economic instability, and other macro-environmental factors, have profound implications on local and global economies, fragile ecosystems, and human cultures and livelihoods. In response, tourism within these natural environments is also changing and evolvi…

Two years have passed since the legalization of recreational marijuana begun in Colorado. This unprecedented change has created numerous business opportunities as well as legal and operational challenges for the hospitality and tourism industry. This article exp…
Adapting to the Internet: Trends in Travelers’ Use of the Web for Trip Planning
The influence of the Internet on our social and economic life is well documented. However, few studies have been conducted to assess how travelers have adapted to the Internet over time. Using a series of national surveys conducted over the past 6 years (2007–2012), this study describes important changes taking place in the use of the Internet by American travelers. The results point to a number of key trends in travelers’ use of the Internet and…

Searching for the Future: Challenges Faced by Destination Marketing Organizations
Threats in the external environment and changes in the industry’s markets and structures have challenged destination marketing organizations to change in fundamental ways. The strategic responses to these developments are essentially decisions to proactively shape, adapt to, or passively struggle through a crisis. Envisioning the future of tourism and examining possible ways of reaching various future scenarios are essential exercises in this pro…
Noncommercial Fish Consumption and Anglers at Risk
From 1997–1998, the authors carried out Indiana’s first statewide survey of noncommercial fish consumption. The research focused on the health of Indiana residents who were catching and consuming sport fish, because no baseline data were previously available on the issue. This article explores analysis options and problems associated with understanding health risks. The original data were reanalyzed based on current recommendations from state fis…

Macrosociological Inquiry and Sport Fishing
The structure of a society refers to self-reinforcing patterns of interaction that emerge when its members associate over time. From a macrosociological perspective, a sport fishery can be viewed as a social system where opportunities to fish are enabled or constrained by overlapping group memberships and reinforcing status positions. Blau's quantitative model of social structure provides a basis for understanding preexisting conditions that shap…
A Means-End Investigation of Ropes Course Experiences
Means-end theory and its associated methodology provide an approach for investigating the meanings that individuals associate with the products and services they purchase, consume, and experience. Drawing from this means-end perspective, a study was conducted to develop a better understanding of the range of benefits that result from participating in a ropes course program. A sample of 125 participants from two ropes course programs identified th…
The Chinese travelers to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand: A unique Chinese outbound market
The study was designed to examine the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and trip‐related attributes of the outbound Chinese travelers to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand (SMT market) and to compare this particular market with the two groups of Chinese visitors bound for other Asia‐Pacific and outside Asia‐Pacific destinations. The results provide a profile of the SMT Chinese market and identified a number of characteristics and attri…
Destination Behaviour of Older UK Travellers
Using travel push and pull factors, the older UK travellers market was segmented into three distinct groups-passive visitors, the enthusiastic go-getters and the culture hounds. The three segments exhibit distinct differences in demographics as well as their destination participation patterns, travel philosophies, trip frequencies and other travel characteristics. This research shows that travel push and pull factors serve as a good segmentation …
Mature vs. youth travelers: The Korean market
An important consideration in understanding and predicting tourist behavior concerns the underlying motivation governing the choice of tourist destinations, and the tourists” evaluation and level of satisfaction with the actual experiences (Pearce, 1991). Motivation is a fundamental element in helping to explain tourist behavior. Unfortunately, the research on motivation has only received moderate attention, both conceptually and empirically. A n…
Definition of adventure travel: Conceptual framework for empirical application from the providers’ perspective
The growth of adventure travel has been accompanied by an enormous variety and availability of adventure travel products in international travel and tourism. This study attempts to search for a comprehensive definition of adventure travel from the providers' perspective in order to build a conceptual framework for empirical application. A qualitative analysis of past leisure or recreation theories identified six major component variables which de…

Integrating Ceasing Participation With Other Aspects of Leisure Behavior: A Replication and Extension
This paper replicates and extends parts of an earlier work by Jackson and Dunn (1988) which created a model for examining non-participation. Data from the 1982–83 Nationwide Recreation Survey were used to determine whether Jackson and Dunn's classification system of participants and non-participants could be replicated using outdoor recreation participation. In addition, the age based trends in ceasing and starting activities identified by Jackso…
Using Nationwide Recreation Survey Data in Developing Recreation Policy and Planning Options
The relationship of early life experiences to later life leisure involvement
Data from the 1982–1983 Nationwide Recreation Survey were used to determine whether late life differences in leisure behavior reflect a response to early life patterns or present‐day socioeconomic differences. Individuals aged 65 and over were categorized as either “expanders”; or “contractors”; based on their pattern of leisure involvement. Differences in lifelong learning of leisure activities between these two groups were examined. In addition…
Age of first hunting experience: Results from a nationwide recreation survey
Hunting participation, as indicated in the 1983 Nationwide Recreation Survey, is examined to determine the relationship between age of first hunting experience and adult level of participation. A statistically significant association between these two variables is found. In addition, more than 83 percent of those who hunt began their involvement by 18 years of age. The findings have implications for future hunting participation and the provision …

Social Groups as a Basis for Assessing Participation in Selected Water Activities
Recreation research has relied on social aggregate variables like occupation, income, education, age, and marital status, almost entirely as a basis to predict demand for given activities. This is especially true for many studies completed on specific recreational sites where only participants are considered.However, once nonparticipants have been eliminated from consideration in the analysis, the major source of statistical difference measured b…

The Social Group Variable in Recreation Participation Studies
An alternative to only using descriptive socioeconomic/demographic variables to explain participation is to consider how social interaction patterns among participants occur. The social groups with whom people interact are suggested as relevant variables for explaining the recreation activity selection process. This hypothesis is evaluated with two specifications of the dependent variable, frequency of participation, and high/low participation.Da…
