Abstract
This study segments a tourist market by horse-related visitors and non-horse-related visitors versus in-state and out-of-state visitors. It further tests the utility of various visitor characteristics in differentiating visitor markets for a destination. The results indicate that demographic characteristics were not substantially different for all visitor groups. However, most travel-related aspects of visitors’ trips differed between horse-related-attraction versus non-horse-related-attraction visitor groups.
