RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY AND TRAVELLING HABITS OF COLLEGE’S STUDENTS

Abstract

In our article we have introduced the leisure activities and travel habits of
150 college students from Szolnok. We have analyzed the relationship between
the frequency of watching TV, that is: the time spent on watching TV and doing
sports. Furthermore, we have also investigated the frequency of travelling, and
the main motives of choosing travel destinations.
We have found that college students have more hours of leisure time a day.
Among the recreational activities predominantly such activities have occurred as
watching TV, doing sports, and travelling. It is interesting to note that the rela-
tionship between the frequency of watching TV and doing sports has not been
significant while the relationship between watching TV occasionally and doing
regular physical activity has turned out to be significant. Those students who
play sports for 1-2 hours a day spend significantly less time in front of the TV
compared to their peers who do not play sports.
92% of the students travel at least once a year. The participants of youth tour-
ism are quite price-conscious. In choosing travel destinations favorable prices
play an important role.
