THE RISE OF NEW TRAVEL PATTERNS

The most significant development
in group travel consists of travel
clubs.
-A club member enjoys travel
opportunities and vacation
destination facilities at a much
cheaper price than that paid by a
non member.
- accommodations range from
deluxe to very modest.

THE RISE OF NEW TRAVEL PATTERNS

Preferences of International Tourist

The preferences of the international tourist are divided into


four categories namely:

1. complete relaxation to constant activity ;


2. traveling near one's home environment to a totally strange
environment;
3. complete dependence on group travel to traveling alone; and
4. order to disorder.
PREFERENCES OF THE INTERNATIONAL TOURIST

A. Relaxation Versus Activity

▪︎Before, the workweek for most people was long and exhausted and they
demand holidays that offered relaxation and rest.

▪︎At present, workweek has been shortened and the annual holiday leave
has been lengthened and relaxation has become possible throughout the
year.

▪︎The demand for activity-oriented travel has greatly increased e.g.


sailing, climbing, horse riding, and sports.

B. Familiarity Versus Novelty


▪︎Most tourists on their first trip abroad tend to seek familiarity rather than
novelty.

▪︎They search for something that will remind them of home whether it be
food, newspapers, living quarters, or another person from their own
country.

▪︎At present, there is an increasing positive attitude, for novelty and for
change. People accept innovations in industry, education, family life, the
arts and social relationships .Tourists move away from traditional resorts
to new tourist destinations.
PREFERENCES OF THE INTERNATIONAL TOURIST

C. Dependence Versus Autonomy

▪︎In the past, tourists joined package tours in which transportation,


lodging, food, sightseeing, and entertainment were fixed in advance
by the tour agency.

▪︎At present there is the emergence of a group of tourist who would


like to acquire a sense of personal autonomy regarding their leisure
time. They would like to travel on their own and not part of the
group.
PREFERENCES OF THE INTERNATIONAL TOURIST

D. Order Versus Disorder

▪︎In the past, the tourists sought holidays which enforced the traditional
concept of conformity- set meals at fixed times guide books and resorts
where their fellow tourist were tidy, well-behaved and dressed properly.

▪︎Now, the new generation of tourists is not very much concerned about
what to wear and how to behave when on holiday.

▪︎Because of social and economic changes in modern society, the demand


for travel will be based less on familiarity, relaxation, dependence and
novelty, activity, autonomy and informality.
