Families with Children as Consumers on the Tourism Market – Research Challenges
Journal Title: Folia Turistica - Year 2018, Vol 48, Issue
Abstract
Purpose. The aim of the paper is to point to the most important research areas within our scientific knowledge regarding the group-nature of the consumer on the tourism market, whose role is very often played by families.<br/><br/>Method. The paper is a review and discussion and the most important research methods used are critical literature review and inductive reasoning.<br/><br/>Findings. The most important issues which need intensive scientific research are: diversification of consumer behaviour of families belonging to different types, including patchworking families becoming more and more popular; the impact of demographical changes on families’ consumer behaviour in big cities; roles of particular family members in decision processes in light of changing demographic conditions.<br/><br/>Research and conclusions limitations. The paper presents the state of scientific knowledge valid for the beginning of 2018 and the scientific gaps described in the paper will probably be bridged successively by prochain publications.<br/><br/>Practical implications. This paper dealing with scientific knowledge does not offer readymade solutions for the tourism business, however, the topic of families as consumers on the tourism market itself should be interesting for the widely understood tourism industry as a whole.<br/><br/>Originality. Contemporary works dealing with families on the tourism market are rather concentrated on solving particular, detailed problems and not complex and wide scope diagnosis of the state of affairs have been published so far.<br/><br/>Type of paper. Review and discussion paper.<br/><br/>
