Abstract

Tourists’ length of stay (LOS) is desired by researchers and tourism business managers because it contributes to tourism earnings. Although Pokhara is a popular tourist destination in Nepal, no previous study has empirically investigated tourists’ LOS. Thus, this study investigates tourists’ LOS in Pokhara, Nepal. The data for this study were collected through a survey of 275 visitors who stayed at least one night in Pokhara. Zero-truncated negative binomial and ordinary least squares regressions were used to model tourists’ LOS and determinants. In general, both methods produce similar estimates. The results suggest that visit frequency, nationality, age, education level, and expenditure are major determinants of tourists’ LOS. Contrary to expectations, gender and satisfaction are not statistically significant indicators. These findings have important implications for tourism managers and policymakers.

尼泊尔博卡拉游客停留时间分析

旅游者的停留时间(LOS)是研究者和旅游企业管理者所期望的，因为它有助于旅游收入。虽然博卡拉是尼泊尔的热门旅游目的地，但之前没有研究对游客的LOS进行实证调查。因此，本研究调查了尼泊尔博卡拉游客的LOS。这项研究的数据是通过对275名在博卡拉至少住了一晚的游客的调查收集的。采用零截尾负二项回归和普通最小二乘回归对游客LOS及其影响因素进行了建模。一般来说，这两种方法产生相似的估计。结果表明，旅游频次、国籍、年龄、文化程度和消费支出是影响旅游者LOS的主要因素。与预期相反，性别和满意度并不是统计上显著的指标。这些发现对旅游管理者和政策制定者具有重要的启示意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
