1	Travel bound and the need for vacation a phenomenological study to understand the tourism experiences of at risk youth Richards, Alix S. 12 September 2016 (has links) This study offers a better understanding of the tourism experiences of at risk youth. A Husserlian phenomenology consisting of semi-structured interviews with a group of at risk youth residing in a treatment centre reveals a broader understanding of the tourism phenomenon as well as the essence of these experiences. Findings revealed that at risk youth value tourism and the opportunities that these experiences provide. The importance of support during this multi-phasic experience contributed to outcomes including increased learning opportunities, liberty to exercise free-choice and independence, skill acquisition, gains in social capital, improved self-perception and ultimately, increased resilience. / October 2016
