Abstract
A few studies in the travel research literature indicate a relationship between travel motivation and the use of information sources for travel decisions. This study will propose and test a causal model specifying these relationships using structural equation modelling. When specific client groups are matched with their preferred information sources, marketers can easily access the target group. The application of LISREL will also be discussed.Keywords
