摘要
Family travel is conducive to family cohesion and tourists' personal development, yet its potential to facilitate learning remains underexplored. Based on 65 in-depth interviews with US and Chinese young adults, this study provided insights into the learning outcomes and process in family travel. It developed a 3x3-dimensional framework of learning outcomes including the constructs of knowledge, skills and wisdom, family, travel, and the self. This framework unveils a nuanced depiction of family travel along the dimensions of learning content domains and learning orientation. Additionally, it indicated that the US and Chinese family travelers differ in learning motivation, style, and preference.
