520 $a This study examines the leisure-travel behaviors of African Americans, perceptions of racial discrimination, and the influence of social class, gender, and life stage on leisure-travel behaviors. A questionnaire was developed and mailed to 800 African Americans who had attended the University of Florida. Of the 800, 131 African Americans were included in the study; 43.5 percent were male and 56.5 percent were female; 47 percent were aged between 17–45 years (Early Adulthood) and 47 percent were aged between 46–65 years (Middle Adulthood); 44 percent had completed a master's degree or had some work on an Ed.D., Ph.D., J.D., or M.D., 29 percent had a bachelor's degree or some graduate work, and 25 percent had an Ed. D., Ph.D., J.D., or M.D; 47 percent had a family income above $8 5,000, 33 percent had a family income between $5 5,000 to $8 4,999, and 16 percent had a family income below $5 4,999. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVAs, and multiple regression.
520 $a The findings of this study indicate that college-educated African Americans are active participants in the travel and tourism industry. Unfortunately, some African Americans perceive racial discrimination in the travel services and activities that they use or participate in the most during their leisure travel. Even though some African Americans perceived racial discrimination in certain travel services and activities, they rarely changed their leisure-travel behaviors. Gender was somewhat useful to understand the relationships between perceived racial discrimination and activities and income was the strongest indication of the accommodation and activity travel behaviors of African Americans. The collective influence of education, income, gender, life stage, and perceived racial discrimination accounted for some of the differences among the accommodation and activity travel behaviors of African Americans.
520 $a To disregard the reality of perceived racial discrimination in the leisure-travel experiences of African Americans is to exclude African Americans from the same rights and privileges that are available to whites during their leisure travel. While perceived racial discrimination is a sensitive and challenging issue, further research is needed to understand this phenomenon and preventative measures are needed to eradicate this serious quality of life issue.
