Although due to various limitations results cannot be generalized beyond the study population, it was intriguing to find differences in motivations and preferences of urban, rural and coastal tourists which are a consequence of socio-demographic, motivation and travel-related variables. Based on these differences, this study provides implications for future decision making to target specific market segments | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/3362 | ISSN: | 13140817 | Rights: | © International University College | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology |
