reveals that the vast majority of the motorcyclists find the trip more important than the
destination. So, the core generator becomes the trip as much or more so than the
destination. Governments and businesses could build coalitions to entice motorcyclists to a
region by focusing on the demand generators that appeal to this leisure market. If
businesses and residents understand how to make bikers feel welcome, rural areas and
regions stand to generate substantial returns.
Nonetheless, the voices of the respondents seemed stifled when they discussed their leisure
lifestyle, behavior, and decision-making especially when discussing how their travel has
changed over the years. Prior research has not identified a theory or framework that accurately
encompasses all of the distinctive characteristics of motorcyclists. Multiple researchers in
various disciplines created a patchwork that failed to serve as a methodology to study this
particular leisure lifestyle. Initially, this study started with identifying unique demand
generators for the motorcycle tourism market. However, the open-ended responses revealed
the failure of the many applicable theories to distinguish this subculture and its lifestyle traits.
While the features were described, the challenge was to create a cohesive framework that
encompassed the past and also encompassed the discoveries in this study. Thus, Dynamic
Interaction Leisure emerged as a new boundary grounded in the conditions of prior theory.
Although this theory arose from the study of motorcyclists, it may be applicable to bicyclists
who face similar tourism constraints. Future research will be able to use this model for studying
other populations with similar lifestyle characteristics as motorcyclists
