소비시장은 소비자들의 변화에 따라 함께 변천한다. 다가오는 21세기에는 소득수준의 향상과 다원화사회가 이룩되면서 소비자들의 라이프스타일과 소비행태도 새롭게 형성될 전망이다. 이는 21세기 소비자행태와 소비시장변화를 소득수준의 향상과 이에 따른 가치관의 변화, 자유시간의 증대, 신소비계층의 출현 등의 변수를 통해 예측된다. 최근, 사회 경제적으로 이루어지는 급격한 변화 등으로 소비자들의 라이프스타일이 다양화되면서 소비자들의 관광지 선택행동에서 변화를 가져오고 있다. 과거 저가격위주의 관광을 하던 관광자들이 점차 그들의 생활의 질을 추구하기 위해서 좀 더 많은 비용을 지불하고서도 보다 매력적인 관광지를 방문하는 것이 이러한 변화의 한 예라 할 수 있겠다. 관광자가 관광지를 선택하는 과정은 기본적으로 소비자의 점포선택이나 제품에 대한 선택과정과도 동일하다고 볼 수 있다. 왜냐하면 점포선택에 있어서 기본적으로 제기되는 소비자의 라이프스타일 유형이나 관광지선택에 따른 관광자 라이프스타일 유형의 선택속성은 그 구성면에서 유사하기 때문이다. 관광자 행동특성에 따른 라이프스타일 유형연구는, 다양화되어 가는 생활양식에 기인하여 관광지 선택행동의 연구에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
