Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Bakgrund Destinationer och deras attraktioner har varit föremål för omfattande forskning. Detta gäller emellertid inte de olika förfl yttningar som görs under en resa. Förfl yttningarna görs inte bara till och från en destination, utan också på själva destinationen. Under de sista åren har så kalllade multidestinationsresor blivit allt populärare, där turister reser från en plats till en annan längs en resrutt. I denna studie har turisters olika förfl yttningar i Sverige undersökts. Som målgrupp har tyska bilturister valts, som utgör en av de viktigaste inkommande besöksgrupperna när det gäller fl erdagsresor. I studien ingår både turister som gör en rundresa genom Sverige, och de som bor på en och samma plats och gör dagsutfl ykter därifrån. Syfte och metod Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur typiska resrutter ser ut och vilka faktorer som påverkar dessa. Vidare analyseras turisternas resvana i Sverige samt resans längd. Även frågan om det fi nns återkommande resmönster, som sker oberoende av attraktionerna, belyses. Data har samlats in med hjälp av resdagböcker som 70-talet tyska bilturister skrev under sin resa genom Sverige. Varje dag skrev de ned hur långt de körde, var och varför de stannade och vilka aktiviteter de deltog i. Dessutom ritade de upp sin dagliga resrutt på en karta. Datainsamlingen gjordes under sommaren 2004. Resultat Resultaten visar att de fl esta turisterna reser enligt en viss rytm, oberoende av attraktioner som besöks. Antalet tidigare besök i Sverige påverkar inte den individuella rytmen. Däremot visar det sig att ett större antal tidigare besök i Sverige ökar benägenheten att resa längre norrut. Tiden som turisten spenderar i Sverige är en viktig faktor för dagliga förfl yttning. Turister som är i Sverige kortare tid reser inte kortare total körsträcka, utan kompenserar en kortare vistelsetid med längre dagliga körsträckor.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tourism research has identified a number of factors that influence tourist behaviour, among them socio-demographic characteristics and the number of previous visits. This article argues that also tourists' spatial mobility, the time period within the holiday, the characteristics of the places visited, and the access to information act as important determinants for the level and choice of tourist activities. Focus in this analysis is lying on German car tourists in Sweden. For this study, a combination of methodologies is employed. This includes travel diaries on access to information as well as on type, place and length of activities, which were written by the respondents during their holiday in Sweden, and personal interviews, which were carried out after the respondents had returned home. Tourist behaviour was found to be similar to the respondents' behaviour at home, and place in combination with a limited time period and the absence of externally imposed routines was a major factor for this. In general, tourists took part in an activity for a relatively short period time before moving on. The level of spatial mobility was found to positively influence the level of tourist activity, and was to a great part responsible for the succession of activities. The time period within the holiday did not specifically influence activities, but so did access to tourist information, which affected the choice and duration of activities. Guidebooks were found to constitute the most important tourist information for the analysed tourist group.

Guided tourism : the role of guidebooks in German tourist behaviour in Sweden
- 2007

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Tourism is a spatial phenomenon. Tourist behaviour on-site is not only dependent on the destination itself, but also on the situation in other places, tourists’ spatial mobility and access to information. On the basis of this argument, the whole tourism system is taken into account in this thesis. The aim is to analyse the interplay between mobility, tourist behaviour and guidebooks. The focus lies on German tourists in Sweden. Due to the importance of guidebooks to this visitor group, the thesis concentrates particularly on guidebooks as source of information.In the first article, power relations that steer the selection of Swedish tourist sites in German guidebooks are analysed. The results show that the selection of tourist sites is dependent on personal, editorial, geographical, economic and tourism-sociological factors. The production of information is dependent on a complex web of power relations, the core of which is constituted by authors, publishers and readers.In the second article, the content in German guidebooks on Sweden is analysed. Besides Stockholm and Northern Lapland, the regions presented most frequently are usually located in the south of the country. It is found that guidebooks influence German tourists’ choices of tourist sites in Sweden, and that this influence increases with the distance from Germany. The study also shows that guidebooks contribute to constructing tourism space and providing places with meaning.In the third article, it is shown that information and time availability influence tourist mobility. The existence of an individual travel rhythm is confirmed, which is defined as a travel pattern that is independent of the tourist sites that are visited. It includes, among other things, long travel distances the first and last days of the holiday, a short first stay-over, the longest stay in the region with the greatest distance from home, and a relation between the length of stay at one place and the distance covered when departing.In the last article, tourist behaviour is analysed. The results dispel the predominant impression in current tourism discourse that states that tourists are continually active during their holidays. It is found that the major difference between home and tourist behaviour is not constituted by the activities themselves, but by a difference in place, followed by a slower pace in which activities are performed and a limited time period. Spatial mobility, the characteristics of place and access to information all influence tourist behaviour on-site.In conclusion, it is found that tourist information, mobility and behaviour on the spot are closely connected. Tourists consume the tourism space created in guidebooks, and recreate this space when travelling, as they choose individually how to respond to the information provided. Actors, places and tourist structures all exist in relation to each other. For the resulting behaviour in place, this means that it is not only the supply at the destination that is important, but also the situation in tourists’ home regions and along their travel routes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Guidebooks contain important sources of information for travellers. It can be assumed that they influence the reader's choice of tourist sites, as a selection of tourist attractions is presented in the books. In this study, the influence of guidebooks on German tourists' choice of tourist sites in Sweden was examined. Nine guidebooks were analysed. In order to analyse the relationship between the presentation in the guidebooks and tourist journeys to these places, a comparison between presented tourist sites and accommodation statistics (for the year 2002) was accomplished. Further, the content of the presented tourist regions was analysed. The results indicate that the distance from home affects how strongly tourists are influenced by guidebooks. In addition, it was found that individually created tourist regions are regularly used in guidebooks and that a stereotype picture of these tourist regions is provided.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tourism is often studied as if it was static. Yet, mobility constitutes an important part of the tourism system. The paper argues that tourists are travelling according to an individual travel rhythm, which can be defined as a travel pattern that tourists relate to, independent from the tourist sites that are visited. It was found out that there are long travel distances on the first and last day of the holiday, that mobility and stationariness are concentrated in time and that tourists along a round tour often spend the longest time in the region with the longest distance to the home region. The paper concludes that a travel rhythm exists, and that it is only partly influenced by the time the tourist spends at the destination, and the previous number of visits. Time geography was applied as underlying theory, and its use can be encouraged in forthcoming tourism studies.
