Abstract

Analysis and study on the characteristics of tourist behavior is very significant for tourism managers to make decision and carry out sustainable tourism as well as government authorities. As the only bird-watching center with natural ecological characteristics, Bird Island, located in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, is abundant with pristine natural landscapes including forest, shrub, wetland and ponds. This paper analyzed tourists’ behavioral attributes, including the demographic characteristics, consumption foci, demand characteristics, and perception of visiting experience of 150 respondents in Shenyang Bird Island, by the methods of questionnaire, observation and in-depth interview. The results of our statistical analysis showed that tourists in Bird Island were different from those in the other common tourism destinations, as for tourist behavior characteristics mentioned above. Finally, based on our findings, some future strategies and directions for the development and promotion of Bird Island tourism are discussed.
