Abstract
This research note provides some preliminary findings of a study examining the
behaviour of male and female international students while they are travelling. It is
based on information collected about the behaviour of Chinese international students
during their holiday in the UK. This work is required because of the importance of
international students to the tourism industry and the paucity of previous research
about this population. The study focused on the intersection of three key social
characteristics: gender (comparing male and female), age (young students) and
ethnicity (Chinese) has produced some interesting preliminary conclusions.
