VIII. Travel & Transportation<br />
D. Vacation Preferences Segmentation<br />
This segmentation looks at different types of vacationers, based on what people do (and do not) like to do while on vacation.<br />
• Tour Groupies—<strong>The</strong>se vacationers enjoy the convenience and ease of guided tours and prefer packaged deals to independent travel.<br />
Whether by car, bus, plane or train, they want to see the sights – it’s why they travel.<br />
• Kickin’ Back Vacationers use their vacation time to rest and relax; the effort involved in taking a foreign trip, sightseeing or even going<br />
on a cruise is not for them. <strong>The</strong>y prefer to travel by themselves or in small groups.<br />
• Active Adventurers choose vacation destinations that give them plenty to do. Frequent and independent travelers, they like theme<br />
parks and sightseeing, physical exercise and outdoor recreation—especially while on vacation.<br />
• Ever the Spring Breakers still go for the fun, not the sights. <strong>The</strong>y like guided or package tours for the convenience, but don’t mind<br />
paying extra to fly with a favorite airline.<br />
