The analysis is based on a field survey conducted among tourists visiting the Canton of Ticino, Switzerland. The results show a positive correlation between visiting more than one region and the use of private transportation at the destination. In particular, the two variables are explained by a mixed combination of independent variables; the transport mode choice of tourists can be well explained by demographics while destination movement patterns are rather influenced by trip characteristics. The introduction of activity participation and motivation increases consistently the fit of the model allowing a better understanding of tourist behaviour in relation to the spatial extent of the destination visited and to the transport mode selected. Finally, conclusions are drawn for policy implications in destination management and transport planning. 000029655 695__ $$9eng$$aIntra-destination visits ; transportation mode ; tourist behaviour ; bivariate probit 000029655 700__ $$aZoltan, Judit$$uIstituto di ricerche economiche (IRE), Facoltà di scienze economiche, Università della Svizzera italiana, Svizzera 000029655 8564_ $$fwp1205.pdf$$qapplication/pdf$$s452064$$uhttps://doc.rero.ch/record/29655/files/wp1205.pdf$$yorder:1$$zTexte intégral 000029655 918__ $$aFacoltà di scienze economiche$$bVia Giuseppe Buffi 13, CH-6904 Lugano 000029655 919__ $$aUniversità della Svizzera italiana$$bLugano$$ddoc.support@rero.ch 000029655 980__ $$aPREPRINT$$bUNISI 000029655 990__ $$a20120821103038-DB
