Tourism and Recreation Activity by Students of this Program at the University of Szczecin and Employees of Hotels in Szczecin

Journal Title: Studia Periegetica - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 1

Abstract

The main purpose of work is to determine preferred ways of spending leisure time that can be classified as tourism and recreation in two groups of people: students of the Master programme in tourism and recreation at the Faculty of Geosciences at the University of Szczecin and reception employees of hotels located in Szczecin. The group of respondents consisted of 100 students and 100 hotel employees. In each group, women is 60% and men 40%. The study was conducted as a diagnostic poll, and differences between the groups were tested for statistical significance (a χ2 NW test for p ≤ 0.05) and strength of dependence (Czuprow convergence coefficient Txy< 0;1). It was found that both groups differed in their attitudes to the practice of tourism and recreation, despite being involved in the same discipline (tourism and recreation). The difference was due to the specific requirements and limitations imposed by each group’s specific activity, i.e. education (students) and work (hotel employees). The highest differences in determinants and forms of spending leisure time that can be classified as tourism and recreation were observed between female students and hotel employees, and male students and hotel employees.
