Elderly Recreational Vehicle Tourists: Motivations for Leisure

Abstract

Relationships between motivations for leisure and participation in types of activities and demographic and socioeconomic variables were studied in 1,089 elderly recreational vehicle tourists. Subjects were drawn from a popular winter recreational vehicle tourist area and data were gathered through a self-report survey instrument. Leisure motivations investigated were: rest and relaxation, association with friends and family, physical exercise, learning experience, and self-fulfillment. Chi-square analysis indicated significant relationships between motivations and selected active and sedentary leisure activities, age, occupation, income, and per ceived health status. Little relationship was ascertained between motivations and educational level.
