Modeling Iso-Ahola’s Motivation Theory in the Tourism Context
Iso-Ahola’s theory asserts that personal escape, personal seeking, interpersonal escape, and interpersonal seeking motivate tourism and recreation. This article operationalizes and empirically tests Iso-Ahola’s theory for similar tourism and recreation experiences. The motivation dimensions are monitored using scenario-based data for sporting events, beaches, amusement parks, and natural parks. The first investigation used confirmatory factor ana…

Application of the tourism life cycle concept in the greater Yellowstone region
Tourism development in the greater Yellowstone region is examined using the tourism life cycle concept. This concept postulates that, over time, tourism destinations experience known and ordered stages of development. The stages include exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation, and then a series of choices ranging from rejuvenating to decline. Few empirical assessments of the tourism life cycle concept exist for federally …

Differences among Nonresident Tourists Making Consumptive and Nonconsumptive Uses of Alaskan Wildlife
Tourism is an important sector of Alaska's economy; 23% of 4202 parties of tourists vacationing in Alaska from October 1982 to September 1983 indicated they hunted or fished. Tourists making consumptive use (hunting or fishing) of wildlife differed significantly from other visitors. Those who hunted or fished: (1) were in larger groups that contained a higher proportion of males; (2) tended to be younger; (3) were more involved in planning their …

A review of leisure participation models based on the level of discourse taxonomy
A taxonomy based on the level of discourse concept provided the basis for cataloging the leisure participation models that appear in the field's two major journals. Eighteen models were reviewed, and 16 (89 percent) produced results that were consistent with those anticipated based on the taxonomy. The level of discourse concept also reconciled apparent contradictions within the literature. Both the level of discourse concept and the findings fro…
A longitudinal analysis of nationwide hunting and fishing indicators
This paper explores the human dimensions ofrecreational hunting and fishing from a longitudinal perspective. Several sociodemographic, recreation behavior, and resource use social indicators were monitored for these two consumptive recreational activities over a 25‐year period. Six national surveys conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Department of the Interior every five years since 1955 provided the data for the analysis. For both hunting a…
Leisure Activity Participation Models and The Level of Discourse Theory
The level of discourse theory was empirically tested to determine if it could aid researchers in selecting the most useful independent variables for population and subpopulation models of leisure participation. A primary data set and three studies from the social group literature were employed in the investigation of population and subpopulation models. The analysis indicated that those models which met the requirements of the level of discourse …
Distribution Analysis for Leisure Activities
In contrast to examining correlations or averages of attendant variables to leisure behavior, an investigation was undertaken to examine the structure of participation frequency distributions for leisure activities. Data from a national probability sample provided 30 activity participation distributions for comparison. Two concave participation structures described the 30 activity distributions: a reverse-J curve and a reverse-J curve with a tail…
