The aim of this research was to explore and compare choice behaviours of different consumers for specific domestic and overseas destinations offering a particular set of holiday experiences. The selected eight destinations represent the whole range of option types for short trip vacation travel from or within Australia: overseas (Asia/Pacific), domestic metropolitan interstate, regional interstate, local regional (intrastate) and local ‘home' destination. The implementation and modelling of consumer choice experiments such as this provides a powerful method for deconstructing and understanding how tourism consumers make decisions.
