Examining Japanese tourists' US-bound travel constraints.

TLDR
In this paper, the authors focused on Japanese tourists' US-related travel constraints and revealed that Japanese tourists with different socio-demographic characteristics faced diverse US-bound travel constraints, including personal preferences, psychological concerns, cost concerns, and accessibility issues.
Abstract
Most studies on travel/leisure constraints to date were conducted in Western countries under a Western-centric research paradigm. It is not clear whether people from non-Western countries, such as Japan, face different outbound travel constraints. It is also not clear whether constraints research in a non-Western context will generate results that are consistent with what has been documented in the literature. This study focused on Japanese travellers' US-related travel constraints. The data were drawn from an online panel survey on 1200 recent and potential Japanese outbound travellers. Four categories of constraints emerged in this study: personal preferences, psychological concerns, cost concerns, and accessibility issues. In addition, this study revealed that Japanese tourists with different socio-demographic characteristics faced diverse US-bound travel constraints.

A hierarchical model of leisure constraints

TL;DR: In this article, the authors modify a conceptualization of leisure constraints offered by Crawford and Godbey (1987) and recast it as a single integrated model in which leisure participants are viewed as having negotiated a sequential, hierarchical series of constraints levels.

Reconceptualizing barriers to family leisure

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider barriers to be of three types: (1) intrapersonal barriers, wherein the primary relationship of importance is between preferences and barriers; (2) interpersonal barriers, which result from either the non-correspondence of individuals' intrapERSONal barriers or from the behavioral patterning of interpersonal relations, thus indicating a relationship with both preferences and participation; and (3) structural...
