Travel career ladder

This chapter concentrates on the modification of one of the existing theories of tourist motivation - the travel career ladder (Pearce, 1988, 1991b, 1993b). Much potential exists for other research on travel motivation to advance parallel conceptual endeavours such as Plog s allocentric-psychocentric theory (Plog, 1974, 1987,1991), Iso-Ahola s optimal arousal theory (Iso-Ahola, 1982) and Beard and Ragheb s leisure motivation... [Pg.54]

Furthermore, it has been proposed that the travel career ladder can be utilised as a blueprint for the design of motivational studies for special markets such as for ecotourists and for theme park patrons (Blayney, 1998 Pearce Rutledge, 1994). [Pg.57]
