Abstract
Several tourism and related studies have used length of stay in their survey instruments and have reported related findings in the context of travel expenditures and visitor behavior. However, they have not provided much information regarding the destination's importance and seasonal variation in relation to the amount of vacation time spent. This study is an attempt to examine the relative importance and seasonal variation of length of stay in the 48 contiguous United States. The results of this study show that there are substantial differ ences among states in the degree to which they attract destination-oriented travel.Keywords
