Abstract

This study investigated the destination evaluations, revisitation intentions, vacation preferences, and sociodemographic characteristics of budget travelers to the wet tropics region of Northern Australia. The reactions of 400 budget travelers were surveyed during the high season. More positive evaluations of the destination were associated with male travelers, those with lower levels of formal education, perceptions of seldom taking a vacation, and experiencing the destination as more enjoyable than they had expected. Results provide a set of evaluative statements regarding reactions to major destinations. The findings suggest optimal marketing profiles for this market segment and a starting point for budget traveler evaluation studies in other contexts.
