Assessing structure in the pleasure trip planning process.

摘要: The goal of this study was to examine the structure trip decision-making process and explore how travel decisions evolve during course planning. results indicate that decision-making/planning can be decomposed into a number constituent “subdecisions" or facets. Explication these component parts seems three basic levels decisions: (1) core decisions, which are planned in detail well advance trip; (2) secondary appear considered prior but “flexible" accommodate possibility change; (3) en route are, main, not until traveler is actually actively seeking alternatives. Decisions made an earlier stage condition later stages. However, relationships among at each level undetermined should explored future studies. In addition, between variety independent variables such as length type knowledge examined.
