“…According to the results, authoritativeness was the dominant parenting style perceived by the adolescents. The result is in line with other studies which found authoritativeness as the dominant parenting style in Iran (Alami et al, 2014;Derakhshanpour et al, 2016;Shavanddasht and Schänzel, 2017). Moreover, there was little gender difference in parental styles between fathers and mothers in this study.…”

“…However, in recent decades, particularly because of considerable cultural and political reforms, Iranians have been more willing to accept a more democratic approach to parenting (Alizadeh and Yari, 2006). Most recent studies have found authoritativeness to be the dominant parenting style in Iran (Alami et al, 2014;Derakhshanpour et al, 2016;Shavanddasht and Schänzel, 2017), indicating a significant change in how children are being raised there.…”

“…As already noted, there is only one study in which the relationship between adolescents' tourism motivations and their perceived parenting styles has been investigated. In fact, in the study by Shavanddasht and Schänzel (2017) the significant relationship between more self-determined motivations and a more liberal parental style, such as the authoritative parenting style, and less self-determined motivations and a more strict parental style such as the authoritarian parenting style, has been proven. Therefore, taking into account the significance of this factor for tourism studies, there is an urgent need to investigate the role of parental styles in other tourism dimensions, such as adolescent satisfaction.…”

“…Based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the three basic psychological needs -namely competence, autonomy, and relatedness -can either be supported or challenged by social contexts, including parenting styles . In the tourism context, a study by Shavanddasht and Schänzel (2017) suggests specific parenting practices, such as involvement, knowledge, and control, can affect adolescents' motivations and tourism experiences.…”

Adolescents have become an attractive market for tourism because they represent a sizable population segment with an increasing influence on family purchases. There is an urgent need to understand adolescents̕ needs, motivations and role in the tourism industry, particularly the factors that may affect their tourism satisfaction. This study highlights the importance of adolescents' mood and the style in which they have been parented as under-researched factors affecting young people's tourism satisfaction. The focus of the study is Alisadr cave, a well-known tourist destination for families in Iran. In 2016, questionnaires were distributed to 360 tourists ranging in age from 11 to 18 years. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regressions were run on the 354 useable responses. Results showed, firstly, that 60.2% of the respondents had high levels of satisfaction with mean scores above 3.5 for all items. Secondly, the dominant parenting style, as perceived by the adolescents, was authoritative. Finally, there was a significant and positive relationship between authoritative parenting style and positive mood in relation to adolescents' basic needs' satisfaction. Authoritarian parenting style and negative mood had a significant and negative relationship with the satisfaction of all three basic needs, namely autonomy, competence and relatedness. Permissiveness had a positive relationship with only two of the needs -autonomy and relatedness.

“…The role of children in Western family holidays Contemporary studies have established the increasing power children have in travel decision making (Nanda et al, 2007;Shavanddasht and Schänzel, 2017;Therkelsen, 2010). Of the five consumer decision making roles of the user, influencer, decision maker, buyer and gate keeper (Webster Jr and Wind, 1972), children have been considered to be users but also importantly, influencers (Blichfeldt et al, 2011).…”

Purpose Where tourism research related to families holidaying with young children in coastal mass tourism destination is scant, this paper aims to explore accommodation constraints and needs of European parents who holiday with young children. Design/methodology/approach Fourteen in-depth interviews were conducted with parents of young children who have just completed their family vacation in the island of Sardinia, Italy by positioning the interviewer at the boarding area of the Olbia Costa Smeralda airport. Findings The analysis returned five key themes: location of accommodation, quality of interactions, child-friendly amenities, safety and family-oriented programmes. Originality/value Within these five themes, seven new attributes were identified and contribute to the current literature on accommodation preferences of parents travelling with young children. The findings also suggest that this is a distinct segment within family tourism and should not be treated homogeneously with families with older or adult children. Finally, the data highlight the distinctions between Asian and Western parents in terms of their accommodation needs.
