My journey as a researcher is more organized now. I have a plan to cover one topic of my research every two weeks. The first one is about tourism experiences in cultural heritage sites. I did some research in this field in the beginning of last year and now I am reviewing everything and trying to figure out what to write and how to connect the topics. This week, I have been ill (actually a little better now but felling tired and lazy) so the process and the schedule is not been followed as expected. One interesting paper about behaviour is:
KIM, H., CHENG, C.-K. & O'LEARY, J. T. (2007) Understanding participation patterns and trends in tourism cultural attractions. Tourism Management, 28, 1366-1371. The study investigated the effects of socioeconomic and demographic traits of tourists on visitation patterns to 29 different types of cultural attractions using data from a national scale survey of US respondents. They confirmed that females are major participants in arts and cultural tourism, socio-economic status could be an effective predictor for participation in diverse cultural attractions and also education level is a variable that affects the participation in Festival and Musical attractions, aesthetic seeking attractions and Commercial recreation parks.
