Resumen de The Bells Within the Bell Curve: Destination Visitation Model Revisited
Babu P. George, Tony L. Henthorne, Alvin J. Williams
In the present research, Stanley Plog�s (1974) Psychocentrism � Allocentrism Visitation Model is reimagined. The authors decompose Plog�s original model and identify five smaller bell- shaped curves constituting five tourist personas within the normal distribution of tourist flow that depicts Plog�s model. The study also finds that while allocentric tourists largely prefer nascent destinations, they also regain a strong affinity for destinations that are nearing the end of their life cycles
