What now? Concluding remarks
No full text[Extract] We have previously (Prideaux and Carson 2003) described a framework for research into self-drive tourism markets. The framework was intended to provide a way of organising research into this complex topic. It showed
how drive tourism markets are linked to destinations, products, promotion, and physical infrastructure. It proposed that understanding a drive tourism market required investigation of the range of links. In this book we have
added a new model (Figure 1.2, page 10) that builds on our original work to illustrate the centrality of the drive experience in the structure and operation of the drive tourism sector. This volume is the third major effort
to bring together research into drive tourism following the special issue of the Journal of Vacation Marketing in which the framework was described, and a small book edited by Carson et al. (2002), specifically about the Australian experience. There has clearly been some progress in the field since the Journal of Vacation Marketing special issue. Some of the researchers in that issue have continued to expand their work and are featured here (Hardy, Scott, Carson and Prideaux). New researchers have emerged,
particularly outside of Australia, to add a more global view (Cooper, Wang, du Cros, Ong and Lohman). There is evidence of drive tourism being taken up as a central focus in PhD studies (Schmallegger, Cartan and Ali). While it may be argued that drive tourism research remains fragmented, this book represents a collaboration between a range of prominent researchers in the field. Collectively, we have come some way in our understanding of the defining
features of drive tourism - it is an independent form of travel that is suited to small groups and 'exploration'-type trips. The modes of travel are
numerous, as are the types of destinations and the products that accompany the trip. As the drive market evolves internationally, there is a growing distinction between those who use a self-drive vehicle because it is the
cheapest or most easily accessible form of transport, and those who need the vehicle to realise their travel aspirations

The importance of the mode of transport in self-drive tourism
No full text[Extract] The diversity of self-drive tourism markets is apparent in the different experiences they seek, and the different types of people who undertake those
experiences. The first part of this book included a number of dimensions of this - differences based on the country of origin and the sort of trips that the geography, history and culture make possible, and differences based on
the destination and the sort of trip that its geography, infrastructure and amenity suggest. This geographic theme is picked up again later in the book (Carson, this volume, Chapter 25). Diversity can also come from the demographic
characteristics of travellers, and various chapters discuss diversity as a sub-theme. This second part of the book is most interested in how the type of vehicle makes a difference to the type of self-drive trip. The vehicle can often be associated with specific markets - Hardy and
Gretzel's RVers tend to be older couples (Hardy and Gretzel, this volume, Chapter 15), while Walker's motorcyclists have traditionally been young males (Walker, this volume, Chapter 12). But the demographics can change
over time, and Walker comments on the ageing of the motorcycle touring market. The vehicle can sometimes be associated with multiple markets. The four-wheel-drive and SUV vehicles at the centre of research by Taylor
and Carson (this volume, Chapter 17), and Prideaux and Coghlan (this volume, Chapter 18) cater for old and young markets as well as families. Irrespective of the demographics, the vehicles allow for, and inspire, different
types of trips. They demand different levels and types of infrastructure, they allow different lengths of trips, they suit different types of destinations, they imply different travel party sizes and so on. The aim of this chapter is to
briefly describe the importance of the type of vehicle to understanding the self-drive tourism market as an introduction to the proceeding chapters, which then link specific vehicle types to emerging markets and global trends
