This study tests the juxtaposition of Pearce's Travel Career Pattern with McKercher's tourism product taxonomy by examining the relationship between motive and the role attractions' taxa play in influencing the decision to visit a destination. The study represents the third in a series of three papers, with the first two presenting a conceptual model and testing the model with secondary data, respectively. The study concluded that Pearce's core motives were associated with tourists seeking a destination experience, while when respondents expressed middle and outer layer motives, they tended to seek more of an attraction specific experience.

景点对目的地选择的影响

这项研究通过考察动机与景点的分类单元在影响目的地决策中所起的作用之间的关系，来检验皮尔斯旅行职业模式与麦克尔彻的旅游产品分类法的并列。该研究代表了三篇论文中的第三篇，前两篇分别介绍了概念模型和带有辅助数据的模型测试。该研究得出的结论是，皮尔斯的核心动机与寻求目的地体验的游客有关，而当受访者表达中层和外层动机时，他们倾向于寻求更具吸引力的特定体验。
