The probability that an individual will take a particular recreational trip is described using a nonlinear random effects probit model based on variable trip attributes and individual economic and demographic characteristics. These probabilities

This article examines travel distances in daily trips based on random day trip diaries and long-distance trips for private and business purposes. First, it analyses the effects of municipality size classes based on population, population density
, and land-use mix, while controlling for sociodemographics. Second, it finds distances travelled on long-distance trips and daily trips to be affected by sociodemographics in much the same way, while spatial effects affect distances travelled on daily
and long-distance trips mostly in different directions. Residents of small municipalities and low-density neighbourhoods make fewer and/or shorter long-distance journeys than those living in large cities and high-density neighbourhoods, but the latter

This is a report of a trip for International Polar Year 2007/2008. Preparations for a trip to the end of the world started months earlier. First was the tedious selection process by the sponsor, Alfred-Wegener-Institute (AWI) for Polar and Ocean
in the didactical side program and many media contacts followed. On 15 October 2006 the trip started with 22 hours flight to the city of Christchurch (New Zealand) which hosts the logistic center of the U.S. and N.Z. Antarctic research. - (IfL)
Regional variation in excess travel in non-professional trips in Flanders is assessed. Proximity to various quasi-daily destinations is compared with the reported distance that is actually travelled to reach similar facilities. In rural areas larger

The direct effects of the trip-reduction regulation fall into three categories: changes in spending, changes in costs and changes in consumer amenities. The total effects on the local economy are estimated using a Regional Economic Models Inc
Following is an account of a trip to Siberia in March 1985. It was originally intended to provide an opportunity to witness the completion of rail-laying on the Baikal-Amur Mainline, the 2,000-mile railroad under construction in East Siberia since
1974. However, the final link-up ceremony in October 1984 near Kuanda (see Soviet Geography, December 1984, pp. 771, 773) was not open to outsiders, and this and other circumstances delayed the proposed trip by a few months. It could ultimately
be carried out with private financing in the United States and the cooperation of the Soviet authorities. The trip, which lasted from March 12 to April 3, included several days in Moscow, both at the start and at the end of the visit to the Soviet Union
. The Siberian part of the journey, which is the subject of the present account, was focused on three base citiesYakutsk, Novosibirsk and Irkutskfrom which local side trips could be arranged.
The majority of models used in the outdoor leisure planning practice today lack the sophistication required to gain insight into individual tourist trip patterns. This thesis therefore aimed to develop and test a microsimulation model taking
into account many facets of outdoor leisure trips and mutual dependencies among these facets and among subsequent leisure trips. Microsimulation offers the opportunity to build more comprehensive models of leisure choices by combining behavioural hypotheses

The paper examines the mobility of senior citizens with respect to various leisure activities, an area that has remained under-exposed. The analysis shows that older people prefer to take the car for trips in their leisure time. If they own
