This study investigates the influences of travel motivations, travel constraints, and demographic variables on seniors' overseas travel intentions. A survey of Taiwanese seniors was conducted for the purpose of identifying the significant predicators of overseas travel. Using factor analyses, four motivations (relaxation, novelty, escape, and socialization) and three travel constraints (perceived risks, time commitments, and personal reasons) are delineated. The results from the logistic regression analysis suggest that the main factors predicting seniors' overseas travel propensity include age, income source, employment status, relaxation motive, novelty motive, socialization motive, and personal reasons constraint.
