In the modern hospitality industry, it is critical to understand travelers’ needs and wants for businesses to survive and remain competitive. Further study on understanding travelers’ motivations is essential in this field. Cases on Traveler Preferences, Attitudes, and Behaviors: Impact in the Hospitality Industry showcases several research-based case studies to understand travelers’ preferences, attitudes, and behaviors to illustrate empirical methodologies in order to guide academics and practitioners in their research endeavors. Covering key topics such as destinations, rural areas, social impacts, and tourism management, this reference work is ideal for industry professionals, policymakers, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

This book explores the complex decision-making processes involved in choosing and buying tourism products and services. It combines a theoretical overview of the basics of tourist behaviour and decision-making, with the results of an in-depth qualitative study of vacationers. It considers both the generic decision to go on vacation, or not, and more specific travel decisions, such as destination and accommodation type, from an individual and social point of view. It looks at how, when, and why such decisions are made, and the factors that influence the final outcome. The book concludes by rejecting existing tourist typologies in favour of a new typology of vacationers.

In aiming to understand and model peoples’ out-of-home movements, the academic field of transport planning is confronted with two major challenges. Firstly, leisure travel is increasing in importance and is more complex and variable than work-related travel, being less rigid in temporal and spatial patterns and more influenced by external factors such as social contacts or weather conditions. Secondly, traditional aggregated transport models do not include any information on peoples’ social interactions or their personal social networks. In contrast, the recent development and availability of disaggregated models allows more detailed modelling of elements such as individual characteristics, motivations, constraints and travel costs, as well as a consideration of influences from an actor’s social environment. People travel not only within an infrastructure but also within a social structure. These two main factors have driven transport planners to focus on peoples’ interaction and their social network. In recent years there have been a remarkable number of data collection efforts in the field, surveying information on the link between travel behaviour and social motivation. Providing an overview of selected exemplary studies, this volume addresses the overlap between transport planning and methods of social network analysis; applied methods of social network analysis and related empirical results; and current challenges and new research questions in this field.

This book presents a life-oriented approach, which is an interdisciplinary methodology proposed for cross-sectoral urban policy decisions such as transport, health, and energy policies. Improving people’s quality of life (QOL) is one of the common goals of various urban policies on the one hand, while QOL is closely linked with a variety of life choices on the other. The life-oriented approach argues that life choices in different domains (e.g., residence, neighborhood, health, education, work, family life, leisure and recreation, finance, and travel behavior) are not independent of one another, and ignorance of and inability to understand interdependent life choices may result in a failure of consensus building for policy decisions. The book provides evidence about behavioral interdependencies among life domains based on both extensive literature reviews and case studies covering a broad set of life choices. This work further illustrates interbehavioral analysis frameworks with respect to various life domains, along with a rich set of future research directions. This book deals with life choices in a relatively general way. Thus, it can serve not only as a reference for research, but also as a textbook for teaching and learning in varied behavior-related disciplines.

This engaging book presents nine empirical chapters that explore topics such as lifestyle entrepreneurship, lifestyle mobility, luxury experiences, and tourism-related well-being. Unlike most research focusing on Western contexts, several of the studies involve Asian regions (particularly China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan) and capture the growing popularity of Asian perspectives. This edited volume, authored by researchers across China, New Zealand, the US, the UK, and Portugal, provides researchers and practitioners in tourism and hospitality, along with readers interested in the general "travel and lifestyle" domain, timely and relevant knowledge. The editors hope that these carefully chosen chapters will inspire future studies and will give its readers a fresh insight in lifestyle’s role in tourism. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing.

Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome covers the latest research on the biological, motivational, cognitive, situational, and dispositional factors that drive activity-travel behavior. Organized into three sections, Retrospective and Prospective Survey of Travel Behavior Research, New Research Methods and Findings, and Future Research, the chapters of this book provide evidence of progress made in the most recent years in four dimensions of the travel behavior genome. These dimensions are Substantive Problems, Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks, Behavioral Measurement, and Behavioral Analysis. Including the movement of goods as well as the movement of people, the book shows how traveler values, norms, attitudes, perceptions, emotions, feelings, and constraints lead to observed behavior; how to design efficient infrastructure and services to meet tomorrow's needs for accessibility and mobility; how to assess equity and distributional justice; and how to assess and implement policies for improving sustainability and quality of life. Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome examines the paradigm shift toward more dynamic, user-centric, demand-responsive transport services, including the "sharing economy," mobility as a service, automation, and robotics. This volume provides research directions to answer behavioral questions emerging from these upheavals. - Offers a wide variety of approaches from leading travel behavior researchers from around the world - Provides a complete map of the methods, skills, and knowledge needed to work in travel behavior - Describes the state of the art in travel behavior research, providing key directions for future research
