“…For example, Train (1998) studied the anglers' choice of fishing sites while Correia et al (2007) studied the golf tourists' repeat choice behavior in Algarve. Lee et al (2019) applied the mixed logit model to determine the significant attributes that affect glamping choices.…”

In Sri Lanka, visitors to national parks are not offered a choice when they go on safari tours regarding the type of wildlife viewing that they are interested in such as elephant watching, bird watching or general wildlife viewing. Although wildlife watching is as much a recreational activity as an educational activity, visitor requirements are often not met at national parks. In the present study, under different prices, facilities and services, four tour packages were presented to the visitors as choice sets at Udawalawe National Park (UNP) in Sri Lanka. Four hundred visitor groups were surveyed at the ticket-issuing office located at the entrance to the UNP within a 06 months' period covering week days, weekends, holidays and school vacations. A choice experiment was conducted and 'different willingness to pay (WTP) values were estimated for the safari tours. In addition, the WTP values for the visitor facilities and services presented to visitors were estimated. There was a significant difference in demand for the attributes found in tour packages. The majority were willing to pay more for the attributes of distance to be travelled and the availability of a professional guide in the safari vehicle. There was less demand for the facility of 'open hood' and one stop relaxation service in the tour package. The findings of the study will be helpful to park managers in proposing a price structure for safari tours and in providing a proper service to visitors at the UNP.

“…Arguably, over the past decade "camping has been experiencing a transformation through the implementation of a novel and innovative accommodation increasingly referred to as glamping" (Hrgović et al, 2019: 773). The latter -a recent innovation in creative accommodation -derives from the words glamour and camping and is attracting mounting interest Lee et al, 2019). Brochado & Perreira (2017: 77) view it is "an emergent concept in camping that combines comfort with direct contact with nature".…”

One of the most under-researched facets of lodging is that which surrounds the niche of camping tourism. This review article traces trends and recent developments shaping international research on camping tourism. The analysis begins with a discussion of definitional and conceptual issues. Thereafter, the international spread of camping tourism as well as its local impacts for destinations is interrogated. The marginal role of camping in overall tourism studies scholarship is isolated. Key themes of concern in recent research are, inter alia, demand-side considerations; supply-side research; a distinctive scholarship on holiday camps and low-budget tourism; and, new innovations and management challenges which are associated with the changing character of camping tourism in many parts of the world. Knowledge gaps are identified in literature both in terms of the geography and thematic foci of camping tourism literature. Among knowledge gaps are the supply-side evolution of camping tourism, the role of private sector entrepreneurs, local development impacts and planning, and innovative management interventions for the sustainable development of camping tourism.

“…At present, many scholars used a variety of models to depict tourists' discrete choice behavior, the most widely model was ogit discrete choice model, including multinomial logit (MNL) model, nested logit (NL) model, mixed logit model, etc. Some scholars used logit model to research tourism destination selection [46][47][48][49], tourism time selection [11], travel mode selection [50,51], tourists' revisiting behavior [52,53], tourists' consumption behavior [54], tourists' decision-making behavior in congestion situations [55], etc. In these models, tourists will face no less than two selection schemes.…”

Spatial-Temporal Response Patterns of Tourist Flow under Real-Time Tourist Flow Diversion Scheme

This paper excavates tourist decision-making mechanism under the real-time tourist flow diversion scheme (RTFDS) and evaluates the tourist flow diversion effect of RTFDS. To meet the objectives, the stated preference survey and tourist flow survey of the Summer Palace were implemented. The tourist behavior adjustment model and tourist flow diversion simulation model were established. The results show that: (a) For core tourist spots, 66.5% and 16.5% of tourists will choose “behavior adjustment” and “no longer adjustment” under RTFDS, these behavior adjustments all shorten tourists’ residence time in tourist spots; (b) When the tourist congestion perception degree equals 4 or 5, tourists tend to adopt behavior adjustment or the individuals adopt no longer adjustment instead of cognitive adjustment when they face low tourist congestion perception degree, which equals 1 or 2; (c) When core tourist spots’ residence time is reduced by 10% and 20%, there are 60% and 73% time nodes where core tourist spots’ tourist flow density is less than or equal to the condition of null information, there are 73% and 60% time nodes where periphery tourist spots’ density is more than the condition of null information. The simulation results showed that some tourists could be guided from core tourist spots to periphery tourist spots through releasing RTFDS information. The research can provide theoretical support for the implementation of RTFDS, and alleviate the congestion inside the tourist attraction.
