The aim of this article is to classify campers’ characteristics according to their recreation specialization level and to identify differences in pro-environmental behavior (PEB) amongst the sub-groups. The results show that there is a specialization stage of domestic campers, and respondents were divided into categories of high, medium, and low specialization according to their single specialization Index. There were significant differences in several factors of PEB among three groups. The high specialization group uses more environmentally friendly products, separates waste, and prepares for camping in advance, compared to the low specialization group. This study proposes that recreation specialization can be a useful theoretical background for understanding a recreationist’s PEB, and that providing differentiated marketing and educate programs, according to the level of specialization, is needed for efficient management and planning of a camping ground.

The purpose of this paper was to research the effect of walking in travel as a healing power. People experience various symptoms of psychosis, neurosis, and perversion through the continuous lack of desire. Contemporary travel becomes more important in value for its creative and therapeutic aspects. This paper deals with Freudian theories that are composed of individual unconscious desire and 'Oedipus Complex', and Lacan's theories that are composed of 'the Imaginary-the Symbolic-the Real' and 'Mirror Stage' for examining the therapeutic effect of walking in travel. The neuroses can be divided into ‘the Subject’ and ‘the Other’, by supposing nature as a hierachy, 'the Name of Father', and erupt their inner repression through the effect of walking in travel. It means that travelers may receive the power of healing through walking during travel. This study examined (1) hysteria and (2) obsessive compulsive disorder at the Symbolic stage. The perversions who remove the Other's desire and recognize themselves as the perfect subject can face up to the reality while recognizing nature as hierarchy without denying it. From this point of view, the travel industry can play an important role in many fields to improve the quality of life by studying travel behaviors for therapeutic functions based on psychoanalysis.

The ‘farm-inn’ accommodation sector is becoming increasingly popular in many rural destinations. Identifying the most prominent attributes that affect the ‘farm-inn’ selection by the visitor, may help to develop rural tourism destinations. Hence, the present study attempts to utilize the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), based on pair-wise comparisons between criteria. This may permit construction of an evaluation structure, with criteria and associated weights, in favor of ‘farm-inn’ selection in rural destinations. A case study with a three-level evaluation structure is constructed and tested. Given the high degree of consistency and accuracy with respect to pair-wise comparisons using computed weights and priorities in this study, the evaluation of the ‘farm-inn’ selection system can be utilized as a marketing tool for DMOs in rural destinations.
