Abstract

Purpose

The safety-related features of destinations affect tourist experiences and consequently influence destination choices. This research investigates the role of spatial profile and safety in the destination choices of digital nomads.

Design/methodology/approach

The study was designed using the multi-research method. To determine the spatial patterns of digital nomads' destination choices, Getis-Ord’s Gi is utilized, and spatial regression techniques are employed to ascertain the role of safety in these choices.

Findings

The main result of the research is that the most visited cities are spatially clustered in Asia, Europe and America. In this regard, digital nomads' destination choices exhibit similarities to those of traditional tourists. However, safety plays a significant role in destination preferences.

Originality/value

The research findings provide valuable insight into the relationship between digital nomads' travel preferences and safety, thereby serving as a significant source of information for destination marketing and management.

评估安全在数字游牧民目的地选择中的作用

目的目的地与安全相关的特征会影响游客的体验，进而影响目的地的选择。本研究探讨了空间概况和安全性在数字游民目的地选择中的作用。为了确定数字游民目的地选择的空间模式，使用了 Getis-Ord's Gi，并采用了空间回归技术来确定安全在这些选择中的作用。研究结果研究的主要结果是，访问量最大的城市在空间上集中在亚洲、欧洲和美洲。在这方面，数字游民的目的地选择与传统游客的目的地选择有相似之处。原创性/价值研究结果为了解数字游民的旅游偏好与安全之间的关系提供了宝贵的见解，从而为目的地营销和管理提供了重要的信息来源。
