Abstract
Many researchers have examined the market for leisure travel by travelers 55 years of age and older. This article tests the hypothesis that demand for household leisure travel to South Carolina is the same for senior and nonsenior households. The results show that two variables affect senior households’ leisure travel behavior differently from non-senior households’ behavior: housing type and distance. Housing type may represent unmeasured income arising from homeowners’ equity. The results are based on individual household data from the 1995 American Travel Survey (ATS) conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
