The nature of leisure travel is examined and a new approach to demand modelling is suggested that incorporates attraction and accessibility factors into a disaggregated trip generation model which is mode specific. Some experimental empirical estimation of a version of the model yields worthwhile results, and suggests lines for further research and development.
