Abstract
ABSTRACT The use of leisure spaces and leisure times by young men and women tourists is studied. It is based on information collected about the behaviour of young tourists during their holiday in the beach-oriented resort of Torquay, in southwest England. This work is required because of the importance of the young beach-oriented tourist to the tourism industry and the paucity of previous research on this subject. The need to study gendered differences is related to the suggestion that such differences exist in the leisure behaviour of people in their home environment. The study found relatively few gendered differences, in terms of use of leisure spaces and times, group composition, or perception of atmosphere in the holiday environment.
