Resumo(s)
While tourists usually choose a combination of urban and rural destinations for
the same trip, research in tourism has focused primarily on one type of tourism.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the tourist’s continuum preferences of
urban and rural destinations and ascertain the infuence of the tourists’ residence,
experience, and characteristics on their preferences in the contexts of international
and domestic travel. The study proposes a mediation model to examine the direct
and indirect efects of tourist’s experience and characteristics on urban and rural
preferences and to shed more light on diferences obtained by sociodemographic
variables. We found that most respondents prefer a combination of urban and rural
destinations as opposed to just one. Our results indicate that growing up in the city
infuences tourists’ experiences and characteristics, which, in turn, afects their
urban/rural preferences. Urban residents prefer more urban destinations and vice
versa for rural residents.
