N2 - Individual behaviour relates to the ecological structure or identity of places. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the space-time ecologies of different types of visitor population environment in the Netherlands and destination choice. Multinomial logistic regression modelling for car users was applied to determine the relative importance of various personal and household attributes on choosing for a particular purpose a particular type of visitor population environment during a particular time period of the day. The attributes with the strongest link to the space-time ecologies of destination environments proved to be age, educational level, car ownership, and household income and type.
