Activity-Based Model for Tourist's Travel Pattern Choice Behavior

Based on the analysis of data collected from a tourist survey in Beijing,a Nested Logit model was built to structure the interdependent model between travel pattern and trip chain choice.The structure of the Nested Logit model was identified by using inclusive value.The analysis results of this model show that there is hierarchical relationship between travel pattern and trip chain choice,and the travel pattern will always be significantly affected by whether the tourists are local visitors,whether they travel in holiday and how many travel companions do they have,and whether they are familiar with tourist attractions.On the other hand,tourists' age,gender,education,occupation,and whether they hold driver's license,whether they live with family and whether they are local tourists have significant impacts on trip chain choice.
