Targeted interpretation: exploring relationships among visitors' motivations, activities, attitudes, information needs and preferences

Article Abstract:

Interpretation plays a key role in connecting tourists with the sites they visit. Research indicates that tourists are more likely to recall information that resonates with their own personal experiences. Creating relevance and meaning for tourists therefore requires understanding of their general and individual needs as they correspond to the site being visited.
