a

Significant main effect for themes (F (4, 739) = 5.79, P < 0.001); significant (P < 0.005) post-hoc pairwise comparisons (exercise > environment, directional signs > enjoyment, directional signs > environment).

b

Significant main effect for sex (F (1, 739) = 11.65, P < 0.001).

c

Significant main effect for travel purpose (F (3, 739) = 4.81, P = 0.002); significant pairwise difference between business and leisure travelers (P < 0.005); differences between travelers reporting “both” and “other” were not tested and are not included.

d

Factor-based score means for respondents travelling for business only or leisure only are not reported.
