Abstract Cruise tourism is an important and growing source of visitors to destinations. To expand our knowledge of this phenomenon, this study incorporates three new drivers into the analysis of the expenditure patterns of cruise passengers at destinations, namely, spatial intra-destination behavior (single node, multiple node, or hinterland), onshore visit choice (independent or guided), and cruise category (standard, premium, luxury, or exclusive). The study uses quantile regression to unearth the intricacies of the proposed relationships and a dataset that combines GPS tracking technologies and traditional surveys. Results suggest that the mobility pattern, onshore visit choice, and time spent at a destination of cruise visitors have significant effects on their expenditures. However, these effects vary along with the level of expenditure, whereas cruise category does not exert a clear effect on expenditure. The implications for destination management organizations are also discussed.

扩展我们对游轮游客在目的地消费的理解：空间模式、陆上游选择和游轮类别的作用

摘要 邮轮旅游是一个重要且不断增长的目的地游客来源。为了扩大我们对这一现象的认识，本研究将三个新的驱动因素纳入到目的地邮轮乘客支出模式的分析中，即目的地内部空间行为（单节点、多节点或腹地）、陆上访问选择（独立或导游）和游轮类别（标准、高级、豪华或独家）。该研究使用分位数回归来揭示所提议关系的复杂性以及结合 GPS 跟踪技术和传统调查的数据集。结果表明，游轮游客的流动模式、陆上访问选择和在目的地停留的时间对他们的支出有显着影响。然而，这些影响随着支出水平而变化，而邮轮类别对支出没有明显影响。还讨论了对目的地管理组织的影响。
