摘要
This article reports findings from two studies of tourists aged over 55. It highlights the role of their past experience in determining holiday choice, and their loyalty to, in this case, Majorca. It also, based on conversations with such tourists, argues that conversations are an excellent research methodology for revealing the confusions and ambiguities involved in holiday-taking, and illustrates this with a discussion about the importance of 'friendliness'.
