This paper examines the reasons why some people have limited interest in tourism,. Departing from the traditionally accepted travel constraints approach, an alternative conceptualisation of this phenomenon is offered based on travel disinterest. One-quarter of residents of Queensland, Australia has either no interest in, or has ambivalent attitudes towards travel. A total of 11 themes were identified that could be grouped into four broad thematic domains. They can be ordered along a continuum, ranging from those who lacked interest, to those who were intimidated by the prospects of travel, through to those who saw it as an enjoyable activity but still were reluctant to travel, and finally to a group who saw it as an opportunity for personal growth, but again expressed ambivalent views.

本文探讨了一些人对旅游兴趣有限的原因。与传统上接受的旅行限制方法不同，基于旅行不感兴趣提供了这种现象的另一种概念化。四分之一的澳大利亚昆士兰居民对旅行没有兴趣，或者对旅行持矛盾态度。共确定了 11 个主题，可分为四个广泛的主题领域。他们可以按照一个连续体来订购，从那些缺乏兴趣的人到那些对旅行前景感到害怕的人，再到那些认为这是一项令人愉快的活动但仍然不愿意旅行的人，最后到那些看到它作为个人成长的机会，却再次表达了矛盾的看法。
