International Students' Travel Behavior

Abstract

This paper addresses two purposes. One, it explores the satisfiers of international student travel behavior. Two, the study introduces a specific multidimensional value conceptualization to the travel literature. A structural model is explored that shows how characteristics such as perceived safety, fun, and educational benefits create travel satisfaction through their impact on personal hedonic and utilitarian travel value perceptions.

Key Words:

• Satisfaction
• value
