Abstract

Based on a classical approach, this paper analyses the cognitive and affective properties of attitude and develops a structural equation model to explain the determinants of preference for farm tourism. The findings of this study reveal that attitude and large-sized families have a positive influence on choice. Furthermore, it appears that the traditional image of German farm tourism has been replaced by a more dynamic one. However, this tourist form still has to cope with stereotypes as well as perceived deficit of quality standards.
