Relationship Among Demographic Variables and the Preferences Of Water Park Visitators: an Implication From Turkey

Abstract

Many scientific studies show that there is a significant relationship among demographic characteristics of individuals and leisure activities undertaken by them. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship among demographic variables and the preference of leisure activities undertaken by visitors at one of the water parks in Turkey. Twenty-six different types of leisure activities were selected by the researcher from various literatures. “Others” option also was given to the respondents to identify other leisure activities which were not given on the questionnaire. The results obtained from this study showed that demographic characteristics of individuals had some degree of impacts on the preference of leisure activities undertaken by water park visitors.
