摘要：
Little information is available regarding the consensual sexual activity of young adults on holiday. Both academic and popular press coverage of sex and travel has tended to focus on commercial sex. This study examines the sexual activity, alcohol and drug use of US college students during 'Spring Break' at a popular Florida beach destination. The results suggest that students engaged in more sexual activity and had more new sexual partners during their holiday than in the previous month. Students were also found to engage in heavy alcohol consumption and some drug abuse, placing them at higher risk for contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), Those motivated to visit this destination by its 'party reputation' consumed significantly more alcohol, compared to those with other motivations. The results suggest implications for health education, tourism marketing, and public policy decisions. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
