The aim of study is to examine the relationships between vacation choice behavior and socioeconomic variables. A sequence alignment method is used to classify respondents into homogeneous clusters, based on temporal and spatial aspects of their vacation histories. The relationship between this clustering and a set of socioeconomic variables is then examined using a combination of CHAID and loglinear analysis. The results suggest some interpretable, consistent patterns.
