With a basis in Cognitive Experience Self Theory, this study includes various types of lodging accommodations and examines the attributes these families prioritize when choosing accommodations for leisure travel. Based on data collected from 526 qualified families, this study utilized segmentation, through the estimation of a Finite Mixture Model, aimed at bringing deeper insight into these families' attitudes towards accommodations for leisure travel.
