Holidays at home: Analysis of the activities of non-travellers during their holidays and the resulting economic effects for their region of residence

可以理解的是，在分析需求方面，旅游研究主要集中在旅行者身上。因此，旅游者的特征、动机和对目的地的影响被研究了很多次。然而，尽管在20世纪的过程中，旅行在德国已经发展成为一种普遍现象和基本需求，但一部分人并不进行（或只是偶尔进行）度假旅行。甚至在COVID - 19大流行之前，德国约四分之一的人口都是如此；由于大流行，这一比例在2020年和2021年大幅增加。然而，这些非旅行者的社会经济特征、他们的空间分布、他们在假期期间的“替代”活动以及他们对其居住地区的经济影响仍然几乎不为人所知。然而，了解这些非旅行者正变得越来越重要，因为旅行成本将因框架条件的变化而变化（例如，由于移动成本的上升）。另一方面，环境友好的生活方式越来越重要，除其他事项外，越来越多地对旅行的生态后果（例如航空旅行的排放）提出批判性质疑。因此，未来非旅行者的比例可能会增加。因此，这里提出的项目旨在确定非旅行者在假期期间的活动（例如，他们做什么作为旅行的替代，他们在哪里进行这些活动）。它还旨在分析非旅行者活动对其活动领域的经济影响（例如，他们把钱花在什么地方，花了多少钱，花了多少次）。

Research in tourism studies understandably focuses primarily on travellers when analysing the demand side. Accordingly, the characteristics of tourists, their motivation and the effects they have on the destinations have been studied many times. However, although travelling has developed into a mass phenomenon and basic need in Germany in the course of the 20th century, a part of the population does not undertake (or only sporadically undertakes) holiday trips. Even before the COVID 19 pandemic, this was true for about a quarter of the population in Germany; due to the pandemic, this proportion has increased significantly in 2020 and 2021. Nevertheless, the socio-economic characteristics of these non-travellers, their spatial distribution, their "alternative" activities during their holidays and the economic effects they have on their region of residence are still hardly known. Yet knowledge about these non-travellers is becoming more and more important, as the costs of travelling will change due to changing framework conditions (e.g. due to rising costs for mobility). On the other hand, environmentally friendly lifestyles are gaining in importance, which, among other things, are increasingly critically questioning the ecological consequences of travel (e.g. emissions from air travel). As a result, the proportion of non-travellers could increase in the future. Therefore, the project proposed here aims to determine the activities of non-travellers during their holidays (e.g. what do they do as an alternative to travelling and where do they carry out these activities). It also aims to analyse the economic impact of non-travellers' activities on their area of action (e.g. what they spend their money on, how much and how often).
