Tourism Motivation

<p>Purpose: The study explores the tourist motivation and satisfaction of Chinese senior tourists on day trips. The purpose of this study is to identify the model of tourist motivation and satisfaction for Chinese senior tourist on day trips, thereby filling the theoretical gap in the field of day trips in China.  Design: This study proposes a conceptual framework of the tourist motivation and satisfaction for the Chinese senior tourist on day trips based on the literature in the field and analysing the tourism motivation and satisfaction of Chinese senior tourists on day trips by using the quantitative research method of the positivist paradigm.  Findings: This study validated some of the previous research results in this field and confirmed most of them. Similar to some research results, this study found the most important push motivation category for Chinese senior tourists on day trips is “knowledge-seeking”, and the most important pull motivation category is “advantages of the scenic spot”. For tourist satisfaction of Chinese senior tourists on day trips, the three most important influencing factors are: “scenic security”, “attractive scenery”, and “service quality of scenic service personnel”. The study also found the demographic characteristics of senior tourists have an impact on tourist motivation and factors affecting tourist satisfaction. For example, fitness is an important reason for people aged 50-55 travel, but it doesn't important to people over 55 years old. Senior people with more knowledge will be more concerned with the needs of intangible cultures. For male seniors, the most important factor affects tourist satisfaction is “attractive scenery”. But for the elderly women, the first important factor affecting tourist satisfaction is “scenic security”. Furthermore, the results identify as tourism motivation becomes higher, the Chinese senior tourists evaluate the tour quality better. Similarly, as the tourism expectation becomes higher, Chinese senior tourists evaluate the tour quality better, which increases tourist satisfaction. Tourist satisfaction affects the future behavioural intention of the Chinese elderly negatively. Meanwhile, the mean value of tourists' future behavioural intention shows that as the tourist satisfaction of the Chinese elderly becomes higher, they tend to recommend to their friends. The lower the tourist satisfaction of the Chinese elderly, the more they tend to complain to their friends.  Originality and Value: This study has proved some existing theories about tourist motivation and satisfaction of senior tourists can also be applied to Chinese senior tourists on day trips. The academic contribution of this study is the model of tourist motivation and satisfaction for Chinese senior tourists on day trips that has been identified. This empirical model is a new theory for the Chinese day trips field, which fills the theoretical gap in it and it can be used for many other works. Meanwhile, this study can also help other researchers in other related research work. The study may be able to provide some related materials such as research data etc. The findings of this study will help Chinese tourism practitioners responsible for designing tourism products and providing services. This study can help tourism practitioners to understand more about the needs of senior people participating in tourism activities, thus can design suitable tourism products for the senior people.</p>

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), physical health and the need for long-term care (NLTC) of the Chinese elderly, and further, to provide evidence-based advice for establishing an LTC system in China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shandong Province, China in 2017 by using multi-stage random sampling method. Data were collected from elderly individuals aged 60 years and older by self-designed questionnaires through face-to face interviews. A total of 7070 participants were finally included in the database (40.3% male, 59.7% female). Chi-square test analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted to clarify the association between SES, physical health and NLTC among the Chinese elderly men and women in Shandong Province. The results of the SEM analysis showed that physical health exerted a strong and negative effect on the NLTC for both genders, with a slightly stronger effect found among the elderly men. SES was found to be significantly and negatively related to the NLTC among the elderly women, while no statistical significance was found for the association between SES and NLTC for elderly men. A significant and positive association between SES and physical health was observed among the elderly men and women, with a slightly stronger effect among the elderly women. Implications for lowering the NLTC and developing an LTC system were addressed based on the findings above.

Results: The results showed that there were significant changes in mental status after brain gym exercise in the treatment group (p<0.05), whereas there were no significant changes in mental status after elderly gym exercise in the control group (p>0.05). In addition, it was found that there were no significant differences in the value of mental status between the treatment group and the control group (p> 0.05). However, the mean value of mental status in the treatment group was greater than the mean value in the control group. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an effect of brain gym exercise to changes in mental status in the elderly. Mental status in the treatment group after administration of brain gym was better compared to the control group.

Mean changes before teaching palliative care significantly differed from those of immediately and one and three months after the educational program (p = 0.0), (p = 0.004). There were significant differences between the stages of immediately and one month after the educational program and that of three months after it (p = 0.001), (p = 0.002). Concerning the personal life patterns, there were statistically significant differences between the stage immediately after the educational program and those before the intervention and three months after it (p = 0.005), (p = 0.000). Regarding the social life pattern, only the stage of one month after the educational program significantly differed from that of three months (p = 0.005). Mean growth in life pattern of the old women suffering from chronic pain in the stages after the intervention indicated the importance of and the necessity for palliative care during old age. Moreover, the success of this education three months after the educational program as compared to immediately and one month after it indicates that allocation of sufficient time plays a very important role in transferring information and in teaching methods of palliative care to old people.

This study aimed to describe the health-related quality of life of elderly women with experience in fall treatment as well as to prepare basic data for the development of interventions to improve the quality of life for this group. The study was based on raw data from the 2019 Korea Community Health Survey. Using the SPSS program, the characteristics of the subjects were tested by frequency, percentage, and chi-square test. To establish the impact of fall experience on the health-related quality of life of elderly women, the OR and 95% CI were calculated using multiple logistic regression analysis. Of the 4260 people surveyed, 44.7% of the elderly women said they had a high quality of life, whereas 55.3% of the elderly women said they had a low quality of life. A younger age was associated with a better-rated health-related quality of life. Those who lived in a city and had a high level of education tended to describe a high quality of life. The quality of life was considered high by those who exercised, but low by those who were obese or diabetic. The results of this study can lead to a better understanding of the experiences of elderly women who have experienced falls, and they can be used as basic data for the development of related health programs.
