ABSTRACT

The current study aims on the investigation of Chinese RV (hereinafter referred to as RV) tourist’s behavior, while many previous studies were mainly tried to provide strategical recommendations on the development of RV tourism in the areas of campground planning and related industry. However, RV tourist’s travel behavior has rarely received sufficient attention in China. This study conducted the basic concept of novelty space to interpret the general behavior of Chinese RV tourists and provided an innovative conceptual idea for future tourism research on self-drive tourist behavior.
