“…The concept of authenticity has been associated with many factors pertaining to the psychological perspective, and authenticity foreshadows motivation [67][68][69]. In other words, authenticity is a medium of a visitor's cultural motivation and intended behaviours.…”

Studies on tourists crowding are developed to explore the perception of crowding, and these studies indicate crowding influence on sustainable development of tourist destinations. This study aims to reveal the influential factors of tourists' perceived crowding. We obtained data from interviewing over 400 tourists and five senior tourism officials in Xi'an, China. This study firstly applies factor analysis to identify the constructed variables of tourists' motivations from the principle component analysis. It then examines the correlation between nationality and perceived crowding. Consequently, a multiple regression is used to identify the connection between motivations and perceived crowding. The results of the study indicate nationality and motivation as two significant influential factors to perceived crowding management. This study also shows that management in tourist destinations would benefit from provision of the authentic travel experience integrated with zoning the travel destination.

“…These determinants of tourism flows are of limited usefulness for the present case, with its focus on what the local municipality may do to affect tourism. Some previous studies have tried to explain the choice of tourist destination, and length of stay there, based on characteristics of the destination and/or tourist groups (Rugg 1973, Papatheodorou 2001, Klenosky 2002, Seddighi and Theocharous 2002, Huybers and Bennett 2003, Marcoullier and Prey 2005. The motivation of different tourist groups to visit destinations with specific qualities moderates the importance of income and cost factors (Nicolau and Más 2006).…”

ABSTRACT. Recreational fishing has become an important part of the Norwegian tourist industry. The coastal municipality of Risør, southern Norway, is considering further development of its marine fishing tourism to increase local economic benefits, but they also want to limit negative effects on the local ecosystem and for the inhabitants. We developed an integrated model with ecosystem and socioeconomic components to evaluate these trade-offs. We chose the status of the local cod (Gadus morhua) stock as an indicator of the marine ecosystem condition. Cod is a highly valued species in tourist and recreational fisheries throughout Norway, and also supports an important commercial fishery. Five management scenarios are presented and compared to the status quo. Our research illustrates how an ecosystem model can assist local authorities in making rational coastal zone management decisions. Our study also revealed a lack of management instruments for local authorities to develop natural resource-based tourism in Norway, and thus the need for the municipality to cooperate and coordinate with other management units and levels.

“…The push-pull framework has existed since the 1970s; however, it was only later that researchers began to empirically examine the relationship between push and pull factors (Klenosky, 2002). Despite this study of push and pull factors, only a limited number of travel-related studies have measured the push-pull relationship, and none were related to cruise tourism.…”

Motivation is one of the greatest drivers of human behavior, yet travel motivation in the context of cruise tourism remains an understudied topic. Although a limited number of cruise specific studies focus on push (travel motives) and pull (destination attributes) factors, the push–pull relationship has not been directly measured. Furthermore, pull factors have not been examined in detail in terms of onboard (ship) and onshore (ports of call) attributes. Understanding this relationship can help inform the marketing and development of the cruise product. This study measures the importance of push and pull factors and the relationship between them in the decision‐making process of cruise travelers. Results identify the main motives driving the desire to travel and the cruise destination attributes that draw travelers to a specific cruise vacation. A number of potential “product bundles” or market segments are also identified on the basis of strongly related push and pull factors.
