In post-modern society, the diversity of travel markets is growing. Traditional forms of pleasure vacation and tourism are being expanded to include experience-oriented tourism. Visiting reenactment sites and engaging in reenactment activities are considered to be an expanding form of tourism. The purpose of this study was to determine the push factors that influence the decision to engage in reenactment type activities. This thesis examined Crompton's (1979) motivational push factors for tourism in the case of visiting reenactment sites and analyzed the influence of those push factors across demographic differences. |
