Constraints to Overseas Travel among Japanese Young Generation:Their Structure and Changes in Perception

2000年代后期，日本年轻人的国际出境率与10年前相比有所下降，这种下降趋势仍在继续。本研究的目的是弄清与这种下降有关的以下问题：1）潜在的日本年轻海外游客如何看待海外旅行的限制因素; 2）与这些限制因素和海外旅行频率的变化相关的因素。在文献回顾和深度访谈的基础上，本文提出了“出国旅游频率的动态循环模型”。为了检验该模型，进行了网络调查，并对获得的定量数据进行了分析。

The international departure ratio among young Japanese in the late 2000s had declined in comparison with a decade earlier, and this declining trend is continuing. This research aimed to clarify the following in relation to this decline: 1) how potential young Japanese overseas tourists perceive the constraints to overseas travel and 2) factors associated with changes in these perceived constraints and the frequency of overseas travel. Based on reviews of the literature and in-depth interviews, the “Dynamic Circulation Model for Frequency of Overseas Travel” was developed. In order to test the model, an internet survey was conducted and the quantitative data obtained was analyzed.
