Visitors and destinations are the focal point of spatial interaction. The nature and extent of such interktion can influence the level and intensity of environmental degradation or enhancement.
This study examines the variation of environmental concerns with respect to visitor (age,
gender, marital status, education) and trip (destination type, travel group, overnight stay,
residence, and site-specific preference) cha~c~~~i~ in the US Virgin Islands National Park.
The findings of thii study suggest that trip behaviour, including site-specific preferences, rather
than dern~~p~ic characteristics accuunts for most of the variance in en~i~~~l concerns.
