Campsite choice and the camping tourism experience: Investigating decisive campsite attributes using relevance-determinance analysis
2017
Abstract Camping tourism represents a growing part of the overall tourism industry. Despite this fact, this form of tourism has so far been rather neglected by tourism and hospitality research.
