Thus, it is becoming more important for golf courses and golf destinations to identify the variables which attract and retain their golfing clientele. The identification of common characteristics and travel motivations among golf tourists could provide useful information to golf destination marketers in targeting their …

The Information Search Behavior Of International Students When Travelling Within The Countries Of Study In Relation To The Effectiveness Of Dmo Websites, Daegeun (Dan) Kim, Sheila Scott-Halsell
Journal of Tourism Insights
International student travel, within the countries of study, has increased over time. Through qualitative analysis, this study found that when these students travel, they generally search for information prior to travel. Regardless of prior knowledge about the location, information internet searches were the primary source. However, use of destination marketing organization (DMO) websites was not a primary source of information. The overwhelming purpose of travel, within the country of study, was for cultural experiences while budget was the main factor in decision making. The findings indicate that DMOs, whose information of destination is often cultural in nature, should work to …

Although this tourism segment is gaining wide-spread appeal, the temple stay phenomenon has received relatively little scholarly attention outside of Korea. The handful of papers identified on the subject that are written in English, refer to this phenomenon as constituting various segments such as rural tourism, …
